My first review on this site and I am thankful to say that it will be spent on a very good game. What I love most about this game is that it is short, it is concise, and it is a great representation of the situation. This game is akin to that of Gone Home where it is not so much about what you do, it is about what you see and how it effects you. This game effects me harshly, in a good way. It takes me in, it gives me a story, and I'm to do with it what I see best. While yes there is still some strict progression it at least still feels like I have some say and in any case I feel like I am the character. The horror isn't really obvious, but it's as scary as if you were that person. I'm sorry I'm at a lost for words but I just finished it and I'm not great at this. In any case I just want to say I enjoy this game, it accurately projected what it would be like to be in this person's shoes, and it makes me think. That's all I want and love out of these games/ non-games. I only score with four and a half because it's not replay-able. Not that it makes it a bad game, it's just one of those one run through. Any other things you would like critique/answers about?

No additional comments to your review except thank-you. What you described is the core reaction that I was aiming for; putting yourself in the character and feeling what they feel, yet still seeing the story through your own eyes and taking away what you interpret and experience. While there is a clear story that I built the game on, I kept as much as I could in shadows and clues because I wanted the player to feel it out for them self, and your experience shows that I have achieved this goal. So thank-you!
And being your first review, I welcome you to Newgrounds and wish you the best of times! :)
man this was a good and creepy game. i liked it
Thanks! I'm glad you did! :)
Gameplay was bland but story(the thing that is actually important imo) was good enough to make me feel that i didn't waste the minutes i spent playing this game.
I know the game-play wasn't riveting, but I'm glad you enjoyed the story, thanks! :)
Nice ending cool game.
I thought the character was her boyfriend, what a twist.
