Dec. 2024

Short game, very nice. Kinda chill, but still spooky. Reminds me of Milk Inside a Bag of Milk, and it's sequel. Maybe I like psychological games about anime girls, but I digress.

Interesting short casual horror game that dives into one college student's psyche and how she deals with the stress of school and exams. The DLC for $1 is a must pick up. The DLC expands on the lore, has better artwork, and is much longer than the original game. Overall I obtained all the achievements for the base game and DLC in about 2.5 hours. + The cute artwork and scenes in this game are original, hand drawn, and beautiful, in an 8 bit retro kind of way + The storyline is interesting to piece together + Many story pathways and endings to discover + Easy user friendly chapter select for clearing up achievements or browsing for new story pathways + The music and sound effects are well done - A few more traps or puzzles to solve would have been nice Recommended for those that are into hand drawn artwork in games, or light casual adventure games. 8 / 10

Sept. 2024

Though it initially seems like a point-and-click horror game, the game is weirdly comforting. It is short, not that scary, quite eventful, and simple, but conveys the story well. With overflowing deadlines, our protagonist, HER, was racing against time (that's why the monster in the game has a clock for a face). Burden with responsibility, she doesn't have the mental capacity to study or work any further,... When HIM is HER's, let's say, ideal self. HIM was buried in books, calendars full off marks for deadlines, not only did HIM not complain about the amount of work he had to do, but also kept a positive attitude and he even went to HER when she freaked out. HIM was the best version of HER, and was there to help HER. In the end (GOOD ENDING), HER realized that she needed to make TIME for herself, to get away. The line HIM is HER makes perfect sense.

March 2024

Maybe it's silly, but I couldn't bring myself to finish this game for months and months. I never even made it 10 minutes in, never made it to one ending, because I knew it'd drag me down. I felt like it'd remind me of my own problems and shortcomings, but then I did beat it. After over half a year of being too afraid, I 100%'d the game, and... I'm glad I did.

Feb. 2024

I've joked so many times in the past about these style of games pretty much being "depression simulations", but this one is actually the opposite. Anti-depression simulator seems pretty accurate. It's short but sweet, and it's nice to see an actual good ending for once!
