What amazing atmosphere! The colors, art, and music really pulled me in and made me feel immersed. It reminded me a bit of Dredge - eerie, grim, with a twinge of hope. I liked Cove as a character a lot. The ending was really memorable. Great work!!

What a high-quality game! The art, the music, and the story are all stunning

Radio Station 135_jamI laughed out loud, but also felt sad in the end? Really fun game, and I absolutely loved the narrative and comedic timing (great use of the "rule of threes" with the "push him" choices).
Speaking of the choices, I love how they were shaped like shark mouths?! Um?! Very stylish!
The ending was especially sweet - I loved the sound effect at the credits, and the little epilogue. The ending was a good payoff.
The music fit in well with the vibes, and I loved when the vocals came in - it was a nice touch! I did get a little tired of the same 4 chords over again.
Was there romantic tension between the two lead characters? If it wasn't just me reading subtext into it, it was nicely done. I really liked the characterization of both of them.
Oh yeah, and the opening was very fun. You somehow managed to make a visual novel feel cinematic!

My Haunted ApartmentThe art is beautiful, and the atmosphere it immerses you in is very cozy but with a ghostly and mysterious touch that fits perfectly. The music is very good, and everything harmonizes very well!

Haunted RoommatesThis game is excellent. I would love to see more of Cove's story someday, but as is, it's a great piece of work. Fantastic job!

The Final StewThe art and atmosphere is top notch. Very impressed with the story as well. I also really enjoyed the rocking motion of the graphics to represent boat movement and waves. The animation/motion graphics really felt professional and gave the game a lot of polish. Wonderful work.

My Haunted ApartmentGood job! The art style and BGM work together well in setting the ghostly, night mood. Nice touch with the chorals coming in the music after a certain point, fitting with what happens on the boat. I like how it comes together at the end reveal and message.
