I am left heartbroken and with a lot of questions. Part of me wants to try for the other ending but a larger part of me is afraid that this won't get any better so I'm afraid to try.....I guess that might be the point. loved how everything moved and how the writing flowed.

Got 2/5 endings. May go back for more.
Overall really enjoyed the vibe of this game!
Part of me wished for the Kafka esque ending where the mc just tried to continue his college essay meanwhile his family is freaking out in the background but I have a feeling that wouldn't have fit the vibe you were going for.
I am blown away by the music, the writing and the art. The fact that this is free is a crime. I would say I would love for an expanded version sometime in the future but I don;t want to put that kind of pressure on to you plus I'm sure you have other projects going on.
!SPOILERS PAST THIS POINT!
The one route that felt a little off was the mermaids which after reading the note makes perfect sense why. The fact that everything goes south for the main character after she falls asleep in every route but the mermaids is a little jarring but I still loved her theme of replacing someone you lost with another. She also struck me as the only love interest in the game who actively knew she was hurting the main character meanwhile the Gravedigger and the princess seemed think they were doing her a favor.
My favorite character has to be the witch. See's just....awful in such an interesting way. Constantly praying on the main characters fears and insecurities, always having a snide comment to make about her, claiming she loves her while her actions show the exact opposite.
I wasn't saying you were a bad person for reading Lovecraft I was just saying that Lovecraft was racist even for his time and to say otherwise is factually incorrect. Like I said before I didn't mean to come off as rude and I'm sorry if I did so I just meant to correct what you said in your comment.
I know this is old but this comment sort of struck a nerve with me.
You do realize that Lovecraft was considered rather racist and classist even for his time right?
Lovecraft grew up very spoiled and VERY sheltered which lead him to think that basically everyone who wasn't white, english and well off were all inhuman. I would actually argue that Lovecraft's fear of everything is what made that signature feeling of cosmic insignificance all the more powerful. Lovecraft had a way of writing that instills lingering paranoia. He really was a master of the craft......
Doesn't stop me from thinking that he was a pathetic man and a racist though.
I just came across this page so I don't really get the drama that went down like.....2 years ago or something? But it sounds like the devs said some dumb shit on Twitter about everyone who enjoys Lovecraft being racist which.....certainly is a look for someone publishing a Cthulhu based ttrpg. I don't think the devs were right for saying that (since clearly I enjoy Lovecraft's work and I don't really think I'm racist) but I don't think what you said was right either.
Also....Lovecrapped clearly made a throwaway account just to try to get a rise out of people which is honestly pretty shitty.
Uh........sorry for rant on the three month old comment. I hope I didn't come off as rude I just care a lot about history and the horror genre.
Edit: I looked it up and apparently all the devs did was call Lovecraft a racist? Which then people started defending Lovecraft????? Who has been dead for a very, very, long time now?????? Huh?????????????????? Um.......okay??????????????????????
Saw this game. Saw it had psychological horror in the tags and that it has some free copies. I thought to myself: "Eh, why not?"
............I am now slightly mentally scared.
(all jokes aside this is one of the most horrifying things I have ever read. I'm going to wait to play it but even just skimming through the pdf gave me chills so....well done)
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU TO WHOEVER JUST ADDED COMMUNITY COPIES!!!!
No joke but I've been coming back to this page to stare longingly at the cute art every few days or so for about a week....I did not think I'd actually get a copy! I used to have the old free version but sadly I accidently deleted it awhile ago. I'm so SO happy right now!
Hi! I don't intend to be rude I'm just curious: why is this game $20? Back when Stew Pot was being sold it was going for around $15. Again this is just to satisfy my own curiosity not to be rude or say you don't deserve the money. I don't have the money to spare right now to find out for myself so I thought I'd just ask.
