Any nudity? I want to stream it.
No, themes of teenage desire and the male gaze but no nudity.
this was great! reminded me of Nick Drnaso comics where you have this ostensibly calm / clean exterior (with visuals and dialog) which warps into dread as this unnameable eerieness boils (but never erupts) undertow. really tight and evocative game <3
Hey! If you press Alt + Enter you can toggle between windowed and full screen mode :)
do you get a steam key with it?
yes :)
This game was fantastic. Absolutely loved the atmosphere, tone, and soundtrack of it all. I’ll definitely be playing any other game this developer creates!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it
Just finished this morning and wanted to say the same. Note that this comment is from three years ago. Well three years on, people are still enjoying this game. Excellent atmosphere and doesn't overreach what it's trying to be. Superb. Reminded me of something a "24 hour" or self published mini comic might give you back in the 90s and early 00's.
I'm a huge David Lynch fan, and I love how this game manages to create the same type of atmosphere while having its own personality. Games like these are why I love the indie scene. Amazing job, guys!
Thank you, this comment means a lot :)
This game is fucking great.
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it :)
