You always capture an odd feeling. Love it!
So the ending of chapter 4, is it left up to interpretation? Or do you plan on continuing it at some point? (Don't want to mention specifics for spoilers lol)
their story may be continued in another game sometime in the future
I really enjoyed this!!
Holy shit, that last episode got me.
I played through this tonight and thought it was pretty awesome. Other than the spookiness, I think it captures thosee sort of bittersweet feelings of holidays and memories well. Thank you for releasing these :D
Has a very hard to place feel on it. Very nostalgic but in the way you remember and maybe not how it actually was. Is there only one ending for Episode 4?
Thanks for playing, and yes, only one ending for ep 4
Episode 2 Gameplay
Gave it a Let's Play and my thoughts at the end :)
Nice game. Looking forward to next episode... :)
Really loved this one! Good story and great art style. Made a video on it.
What a wholesome and wonderful game. Being able to learn about another culture's celebration and urban legends is always good knowledge to have, especially as a horror junkie. I thought the art style and color palette was wonderful and the SFX + writing too. I feel like some scenes could have somewhat more music to tie in more pathos and evoke emotion. But overall, I enjoyed this game.
