Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend this very short, free point-and-click horror game for its striking art and four endings, but many find it too brief and some report crashes.

Most players praise the hand-drawn, pen-and-crayon visuals, the eerie atmosphere and the dialogue with the raven, and many say the four endings reward replaying. The complaint that comes up most is length: a full run takes roughly half an hour or less, and many reviewers wish there were more story and gameplay. Some find the puzzles and interactions too thin, and a few note that dialogue cannot be skipped when replaying for endings. Several reviews, mostly recent ones, report crashes at launch, freezes after a minute or two, and performance problems, and these are the main reason for negative recommendations. Helpful reviews from the past year lean more positive than the most recent ones, which contain more technical complaints.

Praised

  • Distinctive art style

    Players single out the hand-drawn, pen-and-crayon look and the moody lighting as the game's strongest feature.

    Many players
  • Eerie, atmospheric mood

    Players describe a melancholic, unsettling atmosphere, often compared to Edgar Allan Poe, that suits the post-plague setting.

    Many players
  • Multiple endings to unlock

    Reviewers enjoy that item choices and puzzles lead to four different endings, which encourages replaying.

    Many players
  • Quirky raven dialogue

    The conversations with the raven are praised as witty, insightful and full of character.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Far too short

    Players say a full run takes around half an hour or less and wish the game offered more story and content.

    Many players
  • Crashes and launch failures

    Several recent reviews report crashes after a minute or two, failures on the main menu and error messages.

    Some players
  • Thin gameplay

    Players find the point-and-click interaction and puzzles too simple, with little beyond choosing endings.

    Some players
  • Dialogue cannot be skipped

    Players are annoyed that long dialogue and cinematics cannot be skipped when replaying for other endings.

    A few players
Who it suits
Players who like short, atmospheric indie horror, striking art and replayable endings, and who are happy to pay nothing for a brief experience, will get the most from it.
Who should skip it
Players who want a substantial adventure or deep gameplay should skip it, and anyone whose system is prone to the reported crashes may want to wait for fixes.

Short vs. long playtime: Players who finished it quickly, often with a guide, mostly praise its brevity and art, while the few longer sessions focus on crashes and the lack of depth.
