If you love morbid things... This will still shock the hell out of you. It has multiple endings, too many characters, and plenty of sex and gore. Fantastic game!

Pretty good game and I enjoy it so far. Feels like an Animal Crossing-type game but with Lakeview Cabin elements mixed into it. You can make the town folk like you, get nosey and get your hands dirty into some weird mysteries, or allow your dark desires to consume you and become a serial killer yourself. The game only lasts about 7 days (in game) but don't let that short time fool you, there are many choices and routes to make in this game. This game has so much content and hidden bits of lore and mystery, you have to replay it several times to really get to know what this game keeps hidden away from you. Every night something weird happens, I once saw my scarecrow move on it's own and it creeped me out even though it's just a pixelated game. Sometimes you want to go to bed and sleep until the next day, only for the game to tell you "Can't sleep" and when you get out of bed to check what is happening, some weird figure lurks around your house. The game is a little bit forgiving when it comes to dying (which I'm glad). Even dying in this game can change the course of the story, you'll be revived and wake up in a hospital bed a few times the next day, just don't die too often or you may have to restart the day. The combat and stamina system feels quite a bit janky, I'm not really a fan of it. Defending yourself from a slasher is awfully difficult and you will die 9/10 times. It requires a lot of running around and perfectly timed attacks to successfully fend off an attacker, I wish that was changed/improved. Overall, I do really recommend the game. Honestly, I bought it because it was on discount, the 15 euro price tag (roughly 16 dollars) initially made me hesitate about buying it, but it's actually quite good.

I understand what the game is going for but honestly it doesn't do a good job into pushing you to kill people. i felt somewhat satisfied with the hell ending i got. reminds me of postal where the game is only as violent as you want to be.

Omg! I've searched forever to find the screwdriver and finally i place it where i know i'll need it the next day and the game glitches it out of fu$%ing existence. Fu$% this game so hard. Great game but why so many issues with BS glitches. And once again FU.

TLDR; It's a Majora's mask time loop, as a RPG 90's style RPG horror, that is fantastic, but really buggy because of so many mechanics. This really is one of the best games I have ever played. When people talk about great short games, I think about lakeview Valley being a masterpiece that is overlooked in that, but also for good reason. Lets get it out of the way, it's just not polished very well. There are times where events might have skipped because of the programming, and for a single dev game it's somewhat expected. What isn't expected, is just how much attention... well everything, that this game has. There is well fleshed out characters that have multiple interactions throughout the game, with their own schedule based on time. The game is a time loop where you can perfect your skills by learning from your past mistakes. There are multiple endings, each one feeling distinct. Think of a more rpg version of the dev's hit series Lakeview Cabin, with an emphasis on storytelling and less on knowing exactly what to do. The bugs made me stop playing twice, once losing a full save, once losing several hours (I played on ITCH before steam). I have came back to it because there just isn't something else like it fully, its so many great idea's in such a unique experience, that I can say I bought on sale, but if I had to, I would purchase full price again.
