A great work. Good screenplay, art and interaction. I'm looking forward to the next acts.

Where to start.. streaming this live may have been a not great idea because I WAS SEEING ALL THE FLASHES BUT they couldn't so it looked like i was losing it in the best way 😭
The game is really well done, i really enjoyed it and booyy was it very familiar in some ways.
There was one issue with the S for the doggos name, but apparently it does need to be capital letters, but I REALLY ENJOYED THIS.
The best horror entry I played so far
I enjoyed the mixed media visuals like when you were in the toilet answering the phone. It made the phone and text conversations stand out really well. The story did a good job of encapsulating the anxiety and internal dilemmas surrounding domestic violence, homophobia, and panic attacks/anxiety.
I’m not sure if I’m the only one who had the bug but it seems like when I got to the
(spoilers for act 4)
boss fight with mother, I had to type the protag's dog's name, but its name starts with 'S' which seems to trigger Ren'py's screenshot shortcut key thus couldn't proceed that part at all so I had to drop the game D:Despite that, overall I really love the visual style and how eerie the protag’s mum is. Also, the fox is very adorable <3 I’m just sad I couldn’t seem to nor figure out a way to bypass the roadblock.
Edit: Managed to finish the game, the reason I couldn’t get past in the first place was just ‘cause of my lack of attention LMAO going back to the protag’s mum, using puppet animation on her is a very fitting choice as it gave her an uncanny and eerie motion which adds to the protag’s view of how terrifying she finds her mother to be. Great job!
