It's the first "game" I've ever 100% completed. I guess that's something. It's fine. Just know what you're purchasing, before you hit the pay button. I'd say buy it on sale, if you want it at all. I guess it was worth the 99 cents I paid, to get my 100% completed games showcase started. I've been a huge horror movie/show/book fan ever since I was a kid, so nothing here was especially unnerving or new to me. I'm pretty sure I've encountered some parallel to everything introduced in the story, somewhere in my past. If you don't share the same type of history, this experience may be different for you. The biological accuracy is interesting. One of the websites linked set off my anti virus software, however. Always keep your security software up to date, so that it blocks dangerous things. I'm torn on whether to give this a thumb up or down. It is what it claims to be, but the questionable website citation is a concern.

Gross and occasionally difficult to get through, but it's well written and tells it's story well. I grabbed it on sale for $0.99 and I'm content with what I got.

Welp, probably going to take a hard pass on the pumpkin pie this year. Short but effective. Well done. 5/5

Interesting short little visual novel, there are no choices to be made here. To play just click through all the pages and read along. + Disturbing gross morbid story + Having the body in the story decompose in a medically accurate manner is interesting - It took me 20 minutes to read through. I was't reading fast either, so this it is a short experience. - There is not that much art though the novel, maybe 5-10 pictures. Also several pictures are reused over and over again. - The art is bland, I didn't find the art to be gory, disturbing, or interesting at all. Story 7 / 10 Hand Drawn Art 4 / 10 Overall 5.5 / 10

Definitely an unique game, it tells a simple story while providing detailed observation and description of body decomposition, you can even further acknowledge through explanations of terminology in the main menu. The game is free and takes about half an hour to complete. Despite its short length, please be prepared because detailed depiction of decomposition can be unsettling.
