The most boring indie horror game on itch ever—just keeps digging graves, picking up notices, and then digging more graves. So many tombstones and you have to find them one by one. I quit halfway through.
I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy it! This is a purely psychological horror game, meaning that reading the biographies on the notes will build up to the big plot twist and ending. I made sure to include this info in the disclaimer as well :)
Cool!
For a game made in 23 hours it is impressive, but I can see the issue with not having a more impactful conclusion. It leaves me torn on whether to recommend it.
Thanks for playing! I’m glad you enjoyed and I definitely agree with you. Do you think it’s worth updating it and extending the 23 hours?
I think there is a good chance that it would reach it’s potential if it got worked on more, yes. To what extent is for you to decide.
I liked it, the ending was really good but I did feel like the build up was a bit slow.
Still I really like the textures, sound and the atmosphere overall :)
