A downloadable game for Windows
A short visual novel about taking a shortcut home and nothing bad happening. On an unrelated note, this game includes some horror of the body- and 4th wall-questioning -variety with a hint of gore.
This game was made in about a month for a school assignment by a pretty caveman-esque procrastinator. (trust me, this is very impressive)
May or may not get developed further (add more effects, endings and whatnot. Who knows?)

Gonna be honest I nearly noped out of here from the title screen music alone. But I kept going... and kept going... and kept going until it wouldn't let me anymore.
That was WAY more unnerving than I anticipated, I'm in awe of how much tension and dread you were able to build in such a short amount of time. It's an incredibly simple premise but all the sounds, the narration and the fourth wall break made the reveal of the monster extremely effective. And the monster itself is amazingly designed, both in it's physical appearance and how it acts, with the circular ending adding a haunting twist to this story. This is brilliant, so glad I gave this game a go.
Liked it alot! I've never heard of a similar myth before, well, aside from the myth of orpheus and eurydice but that's more of a tragedy than a horror body snatcher ahaha. It's really spooky, the art is well-drawn(especially the body horror, omg. so detailed). Also really liked the fourth wall break towards the end-spooky!! That and the circular narrative implying this continues onward; always a good way to bring about dread in this myth-like stories I think. Also Also found the protagonist written really relatably and realistically, so that makes the game more immersive and therefore more scary!

Eeee very happy to hear you liked it! ^,^ (and even happier to have checked pretty much all the boxes i aimed for! >;D (with the vibes, circularity and such))

holy shit this is amazing! It really gave me goosebumps! I was not expecting that! Really awesome :)
Waaah thank youuu!! ^,^ Glad if it spooked even a little >;D
Hey there! Absolutely loved the game. I think it's pretty cool conceptually, and the monster design was just spot on. I was wondering if it'd be alright for me to put up the video about the game, I wouldn't want to tread any boundaries considering it's a school assignment.
Aaaa so happy to hear all that! :"D And yea sure, go ahead with the video, it's no problem! ^,^
