This was my first introduction (with recommendation from a friend) into the Indonesian side of superstition & the spiritual aspect of the nation in of itself. Even despite the game's age, I found myself somewhat enveloped into the small perspective-based lives of each character and storyline that each chapter had to offer. At a gaming standpoint, sure, it can be time consuming to 100% all endings or just experiment around with different interactions, but for myself, the stories itself and being able to indirectly learn from a somewhat educational standpoint is ultimately what made me stick around longer to discover what more I could do and what would eventually concur from those actions whether respectful or not in game. Horror points throughout are very evident, some cheap some not, but even just the environments and ambiance alone is enough to catch you off guard even when nothing is certain. I mean, the very same Indonesian friend who recommended me this game is absolutely terrified of playing the game either alone or at hours past dark, so I guess that proves a point. As for real life accuracy, all of the superstitions, time of day, calendar dates, rituals, and almost all actions and consequences are accurate to real life superstition; depictions of all the spirits e.g. Kuntilanak, Pocong, Tuyul, Leyak are also nicely made. I honestly don't know if it's bias, or for other coinciding reasons, but I genuinely really enjoyed this game all throughout, and I'm aware there are other similar works by Storytale in the making, so I'm sure I'll make some effort out of those. 9/10, I love jumping bolster pillows

its a very well thought game, but i wish, its less redundant and repetitive than it is. we get it, there's a bunch of endings and stories. but i dont think it need the same routine for most of the endings and a long to do lists. because it could be damn hurtful if we did one mistake that ruins the whole steps. appreciate the research, the writing and the design. but hope for a better mechanic for the door. (also i found a bug in the parent's wardrobe- i couldn't move and i have to restart-tho i dont know if i got stunted or not) thanks story tale

Very good graphics, very easy controls, lots of improvisation, good DLC which introduces mythical legends and mystical creatures in Indonesia, hopefully in the future there will be more interesting DLCs to play!
