Nice idea!

Really cool and unique art style. I like the story too. The animated arrow in the text boxes was a little distracting because it was moving so quickly.

Omg this really hooked me! I liked the way you drew movement through the character, very captivating story

I found the body horror stuff genuinely creepy despite the simpler art style, nicely done.  A little confusing in some places. I think this was more of a visual novel or narrative than a game, but I appreciated it.
