Really wonderful experience. Excellent Alice-In-Wonderlandesque worldbuilding with a heavy emphasis on the exploration of neuroticism and the inner psyche. I particularly loved the way in which the game weaves in insecurity, both physical and mental, into its thematics and characters. Sometimes, it really does seem easier to help others than to help yourself, and what I learned from this game was that at some point, you need to take your own advice. Truly a great story.
AMAZING game!! Was that a manly reference? This game was fun to play but also made me sad when it ended-- will replay just to see the characters again!! Checking the comments, and yess I just KNEW I was correct on the OCD representation part! Loved the other ways of representing different problems, too!
I played the original version, all the way until the leech lady part and then I remember getting lost and giving up. Should have probably looked up a guide, but I didn't know they were a thing in high school.
The update is lovely! It also felt much easier but I might just have gotten better at solving the simplest of puzzles. I was surprised at how much I remembered!
There are really iconic locations and characters. Completing it in only an afternoon felt too short. I will definitely recommend it to my friends, now that I have some that are interested in the same stuff I am.
I finished this and then immediately told everyone I knew to drop what they were doing to play it -- and you're next. Drop what you're doing and play this.
this game is just so amazing. absolutely the best game I have ever played on Itch that was for browser. As someone with OCD, I'm so glad you (whether intentional or not) had an area dedicated to it with the factory. This game is so wonderful. Thank you.
Edit: I wanna add my rating as 10/10, also can I download the OST somewhere? it was beautiful.
Edit Again: ah, I just found the OST, it was at the top of the page lol. But is there a way to download it anywhere off of YouTube?
i definitely cried once or twice playing this. as someone who as felt exactly like the husk and even sometimes the operator, this game kind of broke me a little. it was such a wonderful wonderful experience and i wish i could play it over again and again like it's the first time. thank you <3
Amazing game amazing art amazing music. Just finished it and feeling everything. Amazing story. I needed to hear some of those things. So thank you. :)
This game definitely broke me down emotional but it was SO GOOD, I still need to continue it and get to the full ending. But from what I played, there is such an incredible story, AMAZING art and visuals, and an overall incredible vibe to share with my stream.
Just a note: I don't know if this is intentional, but there seems to be a bug in the main menu where I'm unable to select either "New Game" or "Continue". Even with the downloaded ROM files, it seems unable to fix the issue. My main hypothesis is that there's a glitch somewhere in which I was interacting with an object, the game froze, for lack of a better word, and then booted me back to the main menu without warning.
That aside, overall, love your work and hope you keep it up. :3
It's been over 4 years since I first played this game. Just came to check up on it and saw there was new content added in 2023 and I can't wait to redownload and re-experience it all over again <3
love the beautiful art in this game and it was an inspiration for a lot of the art in a game I'm making so I made a reference to it in my game with this art
This is the first time I've played this game. It made such a meaningful impact on my own thoughts and how confronting them can change perspective. There were many times I thought one of the characters was really scary, only to discover they were just as scared. Really makes you think. Truly an amazing experience.

A good game! I liked it and would have preferred lights at the entrances to the level filled with thorns, to indicate that it was possible to enter.
I loved this game so much. I got kind of attached to the trashcan tho
Honestly lol
I finished the game and... I started tearing up... This game was so good and I am in LOVE with it!
Incredibly substantial game. Filled to the brim with purpose and with an added message to give too! I loved it, and will remember it for a while.

Awesome game!! Everything worked just fine and, wow, that story! Great work :)
Hi! Do you happen to have a .studio file so I can play the game on my analogue pocket?
This is the first time I've played this game. It made such a meaningful impact on my own thoughts and how confronting them can change perspective.
