You think you know what you're walking into then it just keeps getting you every time. The atmosphere is unreal, PT vibes but it feels so much more personal.
Wow thank you so much! A more "personal" version of P.T. but with an identity of its own was exactly the intention. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for playing!
Forgive me for my ignorance, but is this a demo or a full game that will be available on Steam soon, with achievement support, etc?
this is a full game that’ll be on Steam soon with achievement support, MacOS, and SteamDeck. Will also put in extras etc.
GREAT JOBS
Thanks for playing!!
A really nice psychological horror game made from yall. It's fun to speculate and guess what it is about.
Wish there were more loud noises-ish on the jumpscares tho. Well done!
Thanks so much!
Fantastic game! I was so lost and confused lol Thanks for sharing!

I really liked the art style in this game. I am looking forward to playing your next game.
Our first streamer!! Thanks for playing it - I watched all the way through and it was so funny seeing your real time experience.
You also unlocked the secret cat lover ending, where if you pet the cat in all chapters, she comes to join you in the menu screen!
- Ben
OMG!!! really you gotta pet the cat everytime xD, and the cat was different in the menu screen :3
Hi Genie Boy Games! I'm a beginner translator interested in voluntarily localizing your game into Brazilian Portuguese (PT-BR). If you're interested, I would love to help :)
