The story revolves around a simple premise where the player must find their lost dog in a witch's creepy house, culminating in a confrontation with the witch. While the narrative has potential, it suffers from numerous gameplay flaws and lacks depth, feeling more like a walking simulator with minimal puzzles. Overall, the story is intriguing but ultimately underwhelming due to its execution.
“The story is interesting enough, but there are way too many flaws like going through objects and boxes disappearing. It's a really awesome effort, and I wanted to give this a thumbs up.”
“The story was basic; your dog runs away, you have to go find it in a creepy house owned by a witch while trying not to die, and then you have to kill her and escape.”
“No real puzzles, mainly a walking simulator with a dark story.”
