Wow! The story is pretty disturbing. Nice implementation and really great art for such a low resolution. Also, nice minigames :)

Submitted

I thought the game's atmosphere and the tension in the plot were really cool. The art turned out great.

Great game! Interesting story with a disturbing aspect to it. The graphics where nice and the mini games added some more player input to the story. Congrats

They may only be two small games, but the story is great!

interesting idea, and i can feel  the horror vibe, great game overall!

Developer

I'm glad you liked the idea. I find things like that particularly creepy.

Thank you.

oh  . . . . . . .

Great work! The minigames did a good job capturing the egoistic nervousness of it all. The pacing, design, and compositions are well-used, well-made, and utterly repulsive. The fly close-ups were a good touch! I like the blend of marker-esque illustrations, careful studies, and semi-realism; the style is a good match for Sergio's pathetic hubris.

Good stuff!

Sorry, couldn't finish the game. It's too disturbing for me... I almost threw up... But it's clearly high effort and high quality...

Developer

It's okay! The game was indeed intended to be creepy, though I didn't have any intention to cause harm, sorry. Thanks for leaving a comment!

I liked the proposal of an horror visual novel with minigames. The story is told in a minimalist way thats is very consistent with retro handheld storytelling. There are some interesting photography decisions that make it fell sofisticated. I would say that the minigames are kinda forgotten at some point, maybe there could be some more.

Thanks for playing! Yes, you're right: the gameplay could have been better. Initially, more minigames were planned, but ultimately I focused on the narrative.

Absolute Cinema.

I loved the shots like the kettle and fly. Impressive what one can do with just 2 colours!

Developer

Thanks!

It's my first game, so I glad that you liked it!

This one was cool, while it is less of a game and more of a visual novel, the story made me genuinely uncomfortable towards the end! Very nice bit of horror, and some cool directing in there as well.

Thank you! Working with only 2 colors was an interesting challenge, so I'm glad you enjoyed it!
