As a 40 year old father, I've got no shame in saying this game made me cry at the end. Wasn't expecting that at all, but there's something about it that really got to me. It's hard to believe such a short game can be so moving. Loved everything about it. Atmosphere, voice work, controls, story. Really hoping this dev puts out some more like this. I also checked out thirteenth floor from this dev and enjoyed it as well. This one is a classic though.
I really love the atmosphere and the artstyle of this game! Thank you for your great work!
Hey there! Enjoyed your game and the attention placed on story. The woven details of the story with environment made the game that much more interesting!
Bom jogo, com uma boa história, apesar de ser um pouco triste. Gostei bastante!
Great game, a bit sad though, this is my gameplay in spanish
great game! I love the twist at the end! Uploaded a video on my channel playing it :)
Good game
o jogo é incrível e conta uma história muito triste. Que serve de lembrete do mal que a bebida pode causar em uma família.
Eu até me emocionei, e aqui está minha experiência. Parabéns aos desenvolvedores.
The Keeper | Full Horror games. No commentary
very good game
This was an interesting game, I liked the twist at the end. Even tho I kinda figured it out as I played before the twist is revealed. 😅 But nonetheless it was a good game! 👏
(My playthrough is the second game I played in the video so skip ahead if you want to see my reaction.)
Sobre o jogo em si: Gostei muito, geralmente não gosto de jogos de terror, mas esse não tem sustos fortes e nem precisa correr de ninguém kkk os puzzles e a mecânica são muito legais.
Sobre a história: Fiquei triste :'( e gostei do plot twist no fim!
what a great game I loved
Very nice game. Nice atmosphere.
I guess this game hits differently when someone in your family has killed themselfs. I was crying for minutes.
i really like the history of this one. nice game

Cool game with a sad story! 10/10
this was such a fun little game and i was not expecting the ending at all, 10/10 game :D
what a fun and interesting game! check out my game play!
was a little hard to maneuver sometimes, maybe that's just me being dumb but it was fun anyway! i liked the story a lot and the time loop at the end was a nice touch. idk if i would call it a horror game though.

good game bro 👊The look, the feel, the story, this game has it all and it’s absolutely awesome!
Absolutely amazing. Loved what you did with the eerie atmosphere. Great work!

You did a great job with pacing and a couple of effective scares in there too, well done :)
