Heck yeah. I love me some horror with a message and dark irony. Not only does this one say a lot about the toxicity of the workplace, but I also found certain lines from Russet and Vordalak really nailed an unsettling, gaslighty vibe. Vordalak's voice actor really knocked it out of the park with very charismatic narration, and Rosey's voice actress also did an excellent job with the emotional scenes near the end. 

I do feel that a couple scenes could be paced a little tighter (it's definitely important to build positive feelings with the family, but I'm not in love with repeat poop jokes haha). 

The art style also works more effectively for the later, monstrous imagery than it does for the normal family sprites, imo. (For example, some of the expressions for the family are a bit flat and static, and their skin doesn't have much contrast with the background in some shots in the dining room.) However-- a couple artistic moments did stick out to me as really successful. I loved the moment where the table symbolically grows longer between Russet and Rosey, and it's awesome you were able to fully animate the dog's walk cycle early on. I liked how a certain character's appearance changed over time almost like they were becoming more and more like Chef Vordalak in both ideology and appearance. The last few shots of Rosey were pretty harrowing. 

As a heads up, any time I accidentally right-clicked, I would get a Renpy error (easy to rollback from, though.) Also, after the game finished, it randomly stuck me back into an earlier scene instead of playing credits or going back to main menu.

 Overall though, great work!

Thank you so much for playing the game and the heads up on the right-click issue.  I was able to fix that asap, so <3!
