★★★★★ Love it! I loved playing this SO much! I’ve wanted to play it since I was a kid, watching Jay kubz Scouts play it reeled me in and finally, 6 years later I was able to play it :). I loved the puzzles and the story it was so interesting fun and i absolutely LOVED the art style! I’m so excited for the next upc
★★★★★ fran bow I remember seeing so many playthroughs of this game as a kid and now i finally played it and fran bow a crazy girl like holy moly amazing game though
★★★★★ Incredibly Memorable and Unique It’s hard to even put the experience of this game into words. It’s a wondrous view into the way an innocent child can see things, and a dark exploration of mental illness on top of that, with the forces of good and evil clashing in such a way where you don’t really know what’s real.
