- “Charming little spooky game, I really love the gimmick. It's mechanically very straightforward, but it all works. The three levels it has all make sense, and it's never unfair in terms of 'mother' just zipping around to weird random places, which I think would make the game incredibly unfun.”
- “The game is a ton of fun! The mechanics are balanced really nicely, and it definitely had me feeling tense from time to time. I went into it blind, so some of the mechanics really took me for a loop. Strongly recommend!”
