A game I adore and is near and dear in my heart. I've been playing it for a long time and still have fun with it. It's one I love introducing my friends to. As someone that knew the Yawhg before Monster Prom came out it's funny when I reveal to them that this is the game that inspired the gameplay loop. The atmosphere is amazing, the art and music is perfect. Some people won't enjoy how short it is, or how often certain events reoccur but it doesn't bother me personally. Not a game made for everyone, but certainly a game made for me.

A masterpiece of solid game design around very simple mechanics. Have shown it to game dev students every year as an example. Surprisingly fun to play with groups

Continues to be one of the most satisfying games to quickly fire up when friends visit, talk them through the story and let them enjoy the narrative. I'm still yet to "solve" some of the storylines, I think this is a beautiful piece of micro-art.
