This was so beautifully drawn! Eerie and sad. I really enjoyed that there was a guide for playing through the multiple endings, for example start at a certain day to influence the choices. I love to play all paths in a game and this really helped. Such an unsettling experience to play and so well done!
one note for the game makers - the link to the coral cave at the end credits is broken, it goes to a casino not the game coral cave!
I loved this story. It definitely would've taken a long time doing this because wow, that was so much more than I expected. 3 endings??
Spoiler from here but I certainly wonder how he was just able to break that girl. Thank god she escaped in one of the endings, I swear I'd never want her suffering. Also, he drags her mother in one of the endings?? What?? What about his source of income?? He's truly insane I guess.
Абсолютно невероятная стилистика, мне очень понравилось. На все концовки вышла довольно быстро (первой попалась C, потом, соответственно, B, и позже вышла на A), прохождение несколько рутинное из-за того, что сложно попасть мышкой во время работы с куклами на определённые элементы (трещины, к примеру, было адски тяжело стирать). Немного разочаровалась, что мы не узнали предысторию именно пропавшей девочки - о ней рассказали лишь отрывочно, мы поняли, что именно главный герой убил её и сделал своей "дочерью", но как он её нашёл, что случилось - мы так и не знаем, занавес остаётся закрыт.
Работа прекрасная! Удачи художникам и разработчикам в будущем!
really beautiful style and the atmosphere was great, i felt so unsettled throughout and the hinting at the truth and the indications that you pick up on when playing it again... so dark and so good
Dam you with this game. C ending didn't let me sleep for 2 nights. It was Darkkkkk. I wish I could hold mouse to walk not just click spaming. At last very good game
Beautiful graphics, creepy storline. I loved how there were multiple endings - I got A and B and will play again to get ending C. Scenario A starts at 0:15 Scenario B starts at 57:26. Play this for scenario C and let me know what happens! :)
Hey guys i've made a 40 minute long explanation video on your game including my theory! It was tough for me to piece the puzzle as the further i dig the more confusing things were so hopefully i've made one that makes sense! I would love it if you guys and my viewers let me know what you think of the video!
The story was really enthralling and capturing. The art style made it feel that much more like a story being told or something one would read in like a coloured book while still holding the feeling of the intriguing and mysterious atmosphere. Was an amazing experience to go through!
Hello, I am 10 and this game was so amazing. My largest Hobbie is lore and this game's lore is so deep and I think this game's lore will be my next project! Plus that art was amazing and it reminded me of me, my siblings, and my mom's love for Japan and china!
i just played through it the first time and i am in LOVE with this game!! definitely cant wait to replay it to get the other endings as well! There's so much love put into this game, and I couldn't stop once I'd started! Incredible!
This game is absolutely chilling, the art is beautiful and the story and mechanics are incredibly creative. Each ending left me feeling like someone had reached into my chest and twisted its contents. The introduction of his favorite doll was like a twist that kept turning as the game went on!
This game is absolutely NOT what I expected, and by saying that I mean that I'm surprisingly overwhelmed with what it actually is. The art style is amazing, and the narration gets into your head.
This Game is absolutely amazing. The Artwork and the Story which combines Horror with Romance is just great. Not convinced yet, take a look at the gameplay and enyoi the dense atmosphere:
The artwork in this game is absolutely beautiful. The music is great, the story is also fantastic and eerie. I really enjoyed solving the mystery, and exploring the small town. I can tell everyone who worked on it put a ton of effort into it, it truly shows.
I have only gotten two endings so far, but I just wanted to say thank you for making such a great game and for allowing me the experience!
I only had the heart to get one of the endings. Could have probably gotten a second one but absolutely did not have the heart to get the third one so I know I missed out on SOMETHING but...
I can't believe that I managed to get what is probably the best ending first time! I was trying to get rid of her because the second I saw the life-size doll I knew and I knew how badly this could go. Why did he do it? I wish I understood. He kept saying no one understood and it's like...well obviously not also you haven't even tried to explain.
So impressed when the typical convention of not having sprites for minor characters turned out to be a plot point/indicative of how he sees the world and so chilling to find out she turns the same way when she leaves in one of the endings.
I love this game and plan to play the rest of the endings soon. It has a great atmosphere, settings, music, art, character designs. and was an all-around fantastic horror experience.
I just finished playing the game and obtained all the routes! It's such a fun game with great graphics and drawing! I recommend you playing this game if you like a tint of a short psychological horror gam
I've obtained all 3 endings!! The art is amazing!!
I was on constant stress like the character when having conversations with young Sato, feeling like I have things to hide yet want to share.
I have got the B and C first so I expected A to be the best, well it was for that extra scene. I was shocked to be honest.
The overall experience was great, I enjoyed every bit of the story. The pace was not too slow or too fast, love it because it is perfect to take in the informations.
Some minor flaws were the trees near the forest opening to the statue of the tanuki(?) lost their trunk in some scene. When I saw that was the scene I was supposed to go back to the house after visiting the shrine to find young Sato and obtained the porcelain shard. I wandered down there before going to my home and noticed it.
Thanks a lot for your feedback. We're glad you liked the game that much! The problem with the trees is a strange one. We have no idea how this could happen. We'll have a look at it. Thanks for reporting it!

Beautiful drawings and slow music create a cozy yet eerie atmosphere.

loveeeeeeed it. the watercolor was amazing, love the sense of loneliness throughout the game. the protag was sufficiently creepy too
Amazing! The Art and the Story go crazy. I really wasn't expecting the ending, kudos to your team
watercolor is so hard man good job guys
Oh boy oh boy this was a trip and a half in the best possible way and the art direction was absolutely stunning! Highly recommend
This was unsettling but so beautiful!!! Like the desolate, ice-covered small Japanese town in this game!!
Very good game, wonderful atmosphere and sound design, beautiful graphics. Haunting and melancholy.

Played this game about 10 days ago and loved it. You should totally make more games like this.

One of the best games I've ever played on here. Absolutely chilling, I loved it!

excellent game
An amazingly eerie game with a charming art style. I love short horror stories that play with your expectations like this.

I loved the game! The art is breathtaking and the whole atmosphere of the village is so creepy. Didn't expect endig B.
The only problem/bug/?? I found was in the bonus content:
*SPOILER*
Clicking on "Coral Cove" doesn't send you to the game page but to a gambling site called "The Coral Cave" (www.thecoralcave.com) lol
i just played through it the first time and i am in LOVE with this game!! definitely cant wait to replay it to get the other endings as well! There's so much love put into this game, and I couldn't stop once I'd started! Incredible!

Here's the first episode of my palythrough:
Happy to hear that our game was a good surprise! Thanks for playing it!
A very beautiful and intriguing game, the narrative is powerful and the art is breathtaking!
Thank you! We love your games as well!

Thank you so much for helping her escape this madness ;)
Agreed, I felt my heart drop when I saw her fade out like that.
I love this game and plan to play the rest of the endings soon. It has a great atmosphere, settings, music, art, character designs. and was an all-around fantastic horror experience.
Thank you for your kind words and for the video!
