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

Oct. 2024

Short and concise works. There are no options. It's recommended to play, but the price doesn't really match the size. You can get it when there's a discount.

Aug. 2024

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.

A nice visual novel about decomposition of the human body. The writing and pacing left a little to be desired. but it's understandable due to the one month time limit of the game's creation.
