They stayed out until it was late, enjoying the playground. This place always felt safer after dusk. But in the darkness, it becomes difficult to discern what is there and what is not. Could something be both.

I got to the point where the two characters were talking but after they left the screen turned black and nothing was happening. Very good game and story so far, I wish I could play more of it! 

If the characters in question were wearing blue and purple clothes then that was the conclusion, yes.

That scene with the girl having the convo with the skeleton, that is one of my fav moments of any horror media I experienced. The philosophical elements and how it was tied to the feeling of dread evoked with this game really made it hit hard, especially with the soundtrack for that moment.


I actually felt scared when playing this, unlike a lot of other horror art I encountered.


You all make really great art, I hope you all get the recognition that is deserved.

the game did not work T-

It is unfortunate that the game is not working, for you, however we cannot troubleshoot this problem with zero information; which is what we have acquired from your comment.

so uh... how is this related to transness? how is this related to being transgender? is there no reason and the developer just added it there for shits and giggles? what? huh?

You missed something.

probably, but that also isn't helpful advice.

IS that Jamie?

Lovely art-style, spooky atmosphere. Wish there was more lore. I felt a bit confused about the story - I'd love a prologue, and more gameplay mechanics.

I really like this! This has a lot of potential :) Great job!

A short game built on an excellent idea. Somewhat spooky, but shows restraint. Well worth a play.
