  • story
    40 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story follows Nick, a recent high school graduate grappling with PTSD after a tragic event, as he retreats to a remote cabin with his mother. While the narrative is described as simplistic and somewhat rushed, it features eight different endings and explores themes of grief and mental health, resonating with players despite some repetitive dialogue. Overall, the game is praised for its engaging characters, haunting visuals, and a compelling atmosphere, making it a noteworthy horror experience.

    • “This story is a beautifully grim reality of grief.”
    • “An excellent horror story with well-written characters!”
    • “Amazing storytelling, beguiling visuals, and a haunting soundtrack give this game all it needs for a truly scary treat and all just in time for Halloween.”
    • “It's pretty short, and there's a lot of repeating dialogue for the 8 endings, but I have to give praise to it even having 8 endings, even if I think the story itself was pretty rushed and had random twists.”
    • “The story makes no sense.”
    • “The story is rather simplistic in nature, and takes about 20 minutes to read through for a single time.”
  • graphics
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with some players expressing disappointment over the lack of graphic content, particularly in a horror visual novel context where they expected more explicit visuals. However, others appreciate the artwork and overall aesthetic, praising the beautiful art style and unsettling soundtrack that enhance the storytelling experience. While the visuals may not fully align with the horror themes, many still find the game enjoyable and recommend it for its narrative and artistic qualities.

    • “I love the artwork and the soundtrack is unsettling in the best way!!”
    • “The artwork, music, designs, and story so far are all top-notch!”
    • “Amazing storytelling, beguiling visuals, and a haunting soundtrack give this game all it needs for a truly scary treat and all just in time for Halloween.”
    • “The price tag of 6.99 is kind of steep for the content delivered, but the content which is delivered is pretty good. If you're going into it expecting a visual novel with lots of gory graphics (considering the content), you'll be disappointed. The most you get is blood stains on various objects, which doesn't really replace the fact of seeing what is being talked about. You're a horror visual novel, so act like it and show me the goods. You don't watch 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' or 'Friday the 13th' to only hear about the kills off-screen, do you?”
    • “With that said, I'd recommend buying the visual novel. While it has some issues as far as length and lack of graphical content, it is still a good read, and the twist or twists almost make it worth the price of admission. If 6.99 is too much, wait for a sale, but do yourself a favor if you like horror stories; this might be a good bite-sized one to grab.”
    • “Not enough graphic content; the story goes there, but the artwork doesn't.”

    • “I love the artwork and the soundtrack is unsettling in the best way!”
    • “Amazing storytelling, beguiling visuals, and a haunting soundtrack give this game all it needs for a truly scary treat, all just in time for Halloween.”
    • “The music leaves you on edge, never reassuring you of your choices.”
