quite short but it is a jam game and it also benefits from being fairly short ! i read the description but not the features, so i initally assumed there were only 2 endings, but i was pleasantly surprised there are actually 4..! beyond that, the first thing i noticed were the sound design and ui. SOO Soo cool. this is definitely more unsettling than outright scary, but i did get scared at least once. i like how you can be outright antagonistic to niall but Also just a bit more calculative and play to his desire for a family. the swimming section caught me off guard but luckily there is like. a lotttt of time to figure out what to do before time runs out. my one actual complaint is that the music was Weirdlyyy loud during the endings, which is where the full voice acting kicks in. not the most egregious thing, since i can adjust the separate volumes, but they were at their default settings so !?! yeah. good game <3 i liked the endings, the art, the ui, everything..!

Profoundly unsettling game with a deeply fucked up vibe and suitably cool aesthetic. For budget obsession horror, it would be difficult to outperform this for me. (Better sound quality/balancing related to the voice acting is probably how.)

definitely one of the games i've played
