Dec. 2024

It's real short, and not super expensive, but fun. Worth your time, I promise.

July 2024

A humorous and comedic interpretation of the Cthulhu Mythos, featuring charming and entertaining characters set against a dark, madness-filled atmosphere. Although the short story length and sudden endings, which leave players wanting more, are somewhat disappointing, the intriguing plot and witty dialogue make for a thoroughly enjoyable experience. 광기 가득한 크툴루 신화의 희극적 해석.

June 2024

This is actually a graphic novel more than a game. There isnt really much you can do which is not followong the storyline. Having said this, it is hilarious as you take the viewpoint of The Little Witch Which Ruined Everything :D For a few cents it is a no brainer...

June 2024

You know a lot of people are complaining about it not being a game but a visual novel, and I GET THAT. I too bought this thinking it was going to be a point and click adventure. But you know what? The world and the story telling and characterization won me over. 30 minutes in and I haven't made a single choice or decision, and yet. Totally going to dive in tomorrow. Worth the money, but expect Rudy Bloom or Emily the Strange meets Call of Cthullu,, not Fran Bow

Cute and creepy VN with a great art style. For $1? Um, 100% worth it.
