  • story

    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    27% positive mentions, 53% neutral mentions, 20% negative mentions

    The story is praised for its effective visual storytelling and tense, atmospheric horror, delivering a short but impactful narrative mainly through art and sound. While some find it simple or slightly underdeveloped, many appreciate its emotional depth and unique approach, particularly its darker themes. Overall, it offers a memorable, concise story that resonates despite its brevity and minimalistic style.

    • “Excellent short horror story.”
    • “Visual storytelling does a great job at building the atmosphere throughout with a couple nice twists thrown in.”
    • “This was a great pixelated story about a daughter dealing with her mother's alcohol addiction and violent tendencies.”
    • “I don't want to leave a negative review as I like the vision behind this game, but for me the story could be a bit more elaborate and I easily got frustrated with the mechanics of the game.”
    • “By purchasing this game, I really wanted to get invested in the story but it ended up testing my reflexes.”
    • “The story is a little silly.”

    The gameplay starts strong with simple yet effective mechanics that create tension and immersion, enhanced by good death animations. However, the second half suffers from frustrating and poorly designed hide-and-seek mechanics, including unfair enemy behavior and limited player movement, which detracts from the overall experience.

    • “At first I thought it was going to be a simple and short game, but after finishing it, all I could say was “wow, what an amazing game.” Even though it’s based on a simple mechanic, the game manages to pull you into the situation, conveying the protagonist’s tension.”
    • “Simple but effective gameplay along with good death animations gave some weight to failing.”
    • “The second part has the most god awful hide and seek mechanics that I have ever played. Sometimes the mother is flat-out camping outside the door after she leaves, sometimes she catches you even if you have the flashlight turned off and you are not running. Plus, the fact that you can't even enter doors after turning off the light means you can't run from her.”
    • “I don't want to leave a negative review as I like the vision behind this game, but for me, the story could be a bit more elaborate and I easily got frustrated with the mechanics of the game.”
    • “The second half has very poorly designed gameplay that brought the whole thing crashing down.”

  • graphics

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The graphics feature a simple, crayon-like art style that effectively conveys the story visually in a concise and impactful way. Users appreciate the unique animation and how the visuals enhance the narrative without relying on complex details.

    • “The art style clicks with me; I appreciate the ability to tell a story through only visuals, and it's short and sweet.”
    • “Animated in a simple animation style with a 'crayon-like' art style, your job - playing as the young girl - is simply to go to bed, only to wake up to the sound of your drunk mother losing her mind and making a choice that could result in the young girl's tragic fate being met much sooner than later.”

  • atmosphere

    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The atmosphere is effectively crafted through strong visual storytelling, creating an immersive experience enhanced by unexpected twists.

    • “Visual storytelling does a great job at building the atmosphere throughout with a couple nice twists thrown in.”

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is more annoying than genuinely tedious since dying doesn't force significant repetition, reducing the overall frustration.

  • replayability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game offers a relatively short main experience of 20–30 minutes, but includes additional achievements that provide some incentive for replayability.
