Very unique game. Undulating border UI is weird and cool. I got a bit confused at parts which I think is part of the experience.

This was such an intriguing game! I loved the visuals especially - it created a really sinister atmosphere!

The most stunning and exquisite visual style is in this game, which is quite short and interactive in a delightful way that kept me hooked. I can't wait for a full game, and really want to uncover the story of the Hanged Man. Amazing work!

really like this as a prototype, the art direction and concept is really good, but it appears to have stolen/uncredited music? the song "13 Angels Standing Guard 'Round The Side Of Your Bed" to be exact, so that is why I gave it 1 star for music.

Thanks for the feedback! On the itch.io page we say that we did not create the music. When you play the game more, there is a section where we credit each and every artist and their song title.
