WAIT OKAY I GOT IT SO BASICALLY, YOU JUST HAVE TO KEEP PLAYING AFTER THE GOOD END (WHERE THEY NAP TGT). LIKE DON'T QUIT THE GAME YET :)
Amazing, I love the storyline. Stream enjoyed it as well <3
I literally found this game a couple days ago and it's SOOO GOOD! I've played it like 5 times already
ๆฑๅๅจๅช้
Big fan of this game's ambience!
The first scene of this game hooked me right away, and the mystery kept me interested. I was really surprised when I first saw the grandfather because I didnโt expect him to look like that. Although the game is short, it's packed with secrets and tension.
"Hugo Laurent" reminds me of Hugh Laurie
im telling you make a kickstarter for the sequel people will cough up ridiculous amounts to see it happen lol
Wanna play on my channel at some point but first i gotta know if any of the music is copyrighted so i don't get any claims or anything
i played this like Three times and its made me explode everytime.... i adore the artwork in this game and how all the characters are portrayed! its a point-and-click style but its super interesting.. please check out this game!
i cnat believe i just found this game rn... ITS SO GOOD AAAAAAAA LOVE IT, AMAZING 10/10 DEF HAS TO BE ONE OF MY FAV GAMES IF URE READING THIS AND THINKING OF PLAYING THIS PLEASE DO aaaAAaa :excitement:
Oh my god this game was such a thrill. Gorgeous artwork first of all. And a really compelling story. I deeply enjoyed the characters and their dynamics as well the horror. I can't believe I didn't play this earlier!
I loved this game so much!!! it was fun to play through and I absolutely loved the characters! I was shocked seeing the lgbtq+ representation for a second because it's never so common but I was so happy about it <33 tysmmm for making this game and I hope to see more of you guys in the future!
I NEED fanart of hugo and noah NOWWWWW... :( But it was an awesome game very nice!!!! the good ending art is so... DGJKSDFGHNDKLFHNMDKLFHNMJKFGDNMKLML i lvoed it
Overall it was a great experience!
Sometimes I felt like some information is missing to fully understand the plot, but maybe I'm just dumb. ๐
The art is gorgeous, the atmosphere is amazing, real lovely game! ๐
A must play game! The plot was very interesting and kept me engaged throughout my playthroughs. I love the detective gameplay, where you find clues in a point-and-click style with some important choices. I especially love the character dynamics between Hugo and Noah, as Noah is always there for Hugo, and I can tell Hugo also cares for Noah. I really hope a second game follows, as I am very interested in learning more about the thing that haunts Hugo and playing with these characters to uncover more mysteries. If you're looking for a fun, intriguing, and mystery-packed game to fall in love with, please play it!
I'm astonished! I had so much fun playing the game right off the bat! I was immediately hooked the second I started it, the characters and the story just made it so that I bulldozed through the whole game. Gosh, and Noah being Filipino too was the cherry on top, I legit screamed the moment I saw the word 'kuya' on the screen, it was such a nice surprise! Overall, amazing and fantastic game.
Everything was phenomenal. Nothing was too extravagant and it didn't have to be. The cinematography was so good. The sprites shaking, zooming in, the transitions, the shading, the art- i could go on but u get my point XD. This was so worth the play and I'm actually looking forward to any future games!
Hello! We absolutely love your game—itโs truly fantastic. We are excited about a new collaboration opportunity with Yahaha to remake "Stillwater" using Yahaha Studio. Specific collaboration fees can be discussed further. If interested or if you want more details, please contact creatorsupport@yahaha.com.
I know this is a horror novel, still i couldnt help myself but get emotional more than once. Everything is so on point. The art, the story, the characters. The love story between Luis and Henry had me shed tears more than once, i just wish Henry couldve had the locket. The game has absoloutely everything. We need more novels like this. Keep it up!
This is one of the best visual novels I have played in a long time! The story was very interesting and kept me engaged through the whole game along with the wonderfully selected soundtrack.
The art was such a nice style that fit the story so well. This game left me wanting more because there were hints about Hugo's backstory in the main story that went unresolved, plus I want to see Hugo and Noah get together in a follow up game if they're destined to be together!
If you guys ever plan on making a sequel I'd definitely pay money for it. The fact that a game of this quality is free to play is wild to me.
mood and tone of this really good artstlye is so vibe it make more mystery. The best is story it interesting very worth following

TJE FILIPINO REPRESENTATION OH MY GODDOODODFOGD FDFGDKJ IM GOING FERAL THIS GAME IS SO AWESOME!!!! I TOTALLY RECOMMEND
As a Filipino, IM SO HAPPY THAT THE FILIPINO LANGUAGE WAS MENTIONED ๐ญ noah is actually a great representation honestly!
Anyway, the game is so good!! I really enjoy it AND the art, love your games!! i just have a few self problems with getting other endings, is all! Excuse my bad grammar.. :_)
I'm just laughing because, of all things, Steam deems this similar to hecking Lobotomy Corporation
wonderful art and story. just amazing work
I loved this game SO SO MUCH. The story was nice and kept me entretained, the characters were build in a pretty good way, considering how long the game is, and the art is GORGEOUS.
I'm not very good at giving reviews, but I definitely would reccomend this game over and over again if a short, but deep story with multiple endings, lovable characters, and amazing art and aesthetic is what you're looking for.
also, Colby was for sure the best best friend a detective could have lmfao
I highly recommend this game for readers that enjoy a smidge of horror and an amazing storyline. There are multiple endings, and they are quite easy to get. Not to mention the game is pleasing to the eye.
