I liked the simple but effective design of this game. The story had an impactful ending as well.

Well done. This reminded me of an incident of far less magnitude which I won't detail so as not to spoil things. But it helped provide closure to something uncomfortable, so I appreciate that very much.

The realness of this game made me feel uneasy and left me with a bad feeling given things can’t be made ok in the end, which I guess is the point. Some monsters can unfortunately be human.

I like that you took a naturalistic, real-world approach with this story. The realism makes it all the more haunting!

(I may have encountered one very small bug — I wasn't able to visit Miranda's bedroom when clicking the choice; no text appeared and the option disappeared.)

I was drawn in by the title. The story is grim, but powerful.

A thorny mess of hurt and secrets and resentment where you can ferret some things out but not really fix anything. Very effective!
