Both the endings are so sad. They both involve a kid, giving up everything to wander into the forest. It's past his bedtime; the shadows creep closer. But he has to keep going, he has no choice. It's chilling, I guess. Especially the fact that so many people just walk past this shrine every day. Thank you for the experience!
always welcome❤🐺
Abra I loved this!! The art was really beautiful, the music was chilling and I felt really caught up in this like, twisted fairy tale. You have such a talent for finding and capturing this dream like feeling, the perfect balance of everything working together and also being surprising every step of the way <3
thank you!
oh btw this was based on a dream i had, so i'm glad i captured a dreamlike feeling🙂Thank you again!
i love this video and i'm glad you liked the game❤😘
btw it's not based on any particular myth, it was inspired by a dream:>
also if you take requests, you should check this game jam, it's run by our little community, they're all awesome:>(i'd especially recommend "frozen to the bone") https://itch.io/jam/rpg-maker-horror-game-jam-7

This game has a strange charm to it, and the storyline unfolds in a interesting way. I've always been a sucker for the top down, pixel art, story driven horror games like misao. I think your game had a story that was well worth it, and I'm excited to see what other games you come up with in the future.
I play your game in the video below (with a couple others) and leave more in depth feedback. Also if you'd like, you can vote for your game on my channels community page so that it advances in the bracket I have for best indie game of January. I'll be 3D printing a scene or monster from the winners game to gift to the creator.
thank you sm for playing!🥺 i'm gonna watch the video right now and vote for it👍🏻
btw good you noticed the wrong sprite of Charlie in one scene. nobody else did😅
Missing deadlines is something I can relate to. I have like, three partially finished games that missed their deadlines and will hopefully come out over the next several months.
