Oof. This story really gave me the chills!

Great writing, loved how both endings played out :D

Also the art style really fits the whole mood!

Thanks you! Makes me happy you liked the story and both endings :D I was experimenting with the artstyle, It was fun to use new brushes!

That was fun! The first ending, I thought it was going for the "unreliable narrator" route, but the second ending dismissed that immediately haha 

Great artwork though although I didn't like that there was no music. I hope this gets polished in the future!

Thanks for playing and the video! My intention was to include sounds effects and ambiental noises, but I didn't have time. Probably in a future version I will add them :) Music will be considered too~

Great artwork! I want to punch the policeman. Keep up the good work~ 

Thanks! And yeah... some policemen are like that, sadly. It's based on a real experience with a robbery.

I'm sorry to hear that : (

It's unfortunate, thanks for worrying tho! Now we can punch two policemen >:))

This was a lovely game! The artstyle and that eye animation at the beginning are really unique and atmospheric. I loved the storyline and I'm curious about the man... :) Which is the best way to come out of a new piece of work!

Thanks for working so hard on this!

Aw, I am glad you liked the arstyle and the storyline! Thanks for the comment :D
