An amazing story! Very well done art! I am enthralled with this story and can’t wait for the second chapter!!!

This was an amazing experience, the story was phenomenal and left me on the edge of my seat. I couldn't help but theorize what would happen next, the writing and pacing is so good and the story and art does this style of horror so god damn well. Kudos to everyone involved, I really can't wait to see what happens next in an update for this game. Thank you so much for such an amazing experience 💖

The scenery was perfect and the art complemented the VHS style really well. 

The story and pacing were great, definitely looking forward to a continuation.

Art, On Point!
