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 didn’t expect him to look like that. Although the game is short, it's packed with secrets and tension.
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. 😅 The art is gorgeous, the atmosphere is amazing, real lovely game! 💜
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—it’s 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.
I really love how gorgeous the arstyle is. I loved the atmosphere, the story, the music, everything! Also, a couple days ago I sent you an email and a Twitter/X message offering a free Spanish translation for the game in case you are interested. Thank you and keep up the great work, your game is amazing :D!
As a Filipino, IM SO HAPPY THAT THE FILIPINO LANGUAGE WAS MENTIONED 😭 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 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.
I really enjoyed the game. The writing is lovely, the characters feel very alive, I am SO invested in each one's relationship with one another, the office work, Nina's personal life. I would love more, and I hope to one day get it!
The way that feelings and entities are handled here is very unique - it's one of my favorite concepts in both mythology and horror (that emotions, events, what we take away from them and how we simmer with them over time can have a life of its own, to summarize). The art is gorgeous, and I love the little investigation sequences where you can look at different items around the home.
The multiple endings, including the true end, all felt very purposeful and important - each one just furthers Hugo's ties to the world, to his own 'curse', to the other characters.
A lot is said in 13k words - no small feat! Thank you SO much for this game!! I cannot wait for more!
Describing it without spoilers, this game is a work of art. Though it was a bit short, only 2-3 hrs of gameplay, it was some of the best 3 hours I've ever spent!
The lineless art style is so endearing, it looks and feels like a storybook. And the lore. THE LOREEEE! It runs deeper than that goddamn lake. (yes, that is a reference to this game.)
Overall, 9/10 game for me! Loses a point because it's so short and much is left unexplained, but the devs are planning to add more, and I'm very excited for it!
If you're thinking about playing this game, you really should! Also, Colby is best boi. :3
The characters are all so likable and interesting. The story is very nice, I really liked the small plot about Hugo having the *redacted*. The art and editing of the scenes were so pleasing and good, it felt really polished. Also the dynamic between Hugo and Noah was a really really nice cherry on top.
Really Highly Unbelievably Recommend 👍👍👍👍
(also wishing for a sequel about Hugo's *redacted*)
I don’t want to seem rude or too critical, and I'm sorry if I will, but, with truly beautiful visuals (seriously, one of the most beautiful visual novels I’ve played, although this was noted in almost all reviews) and good music, the story... well, it’s not that good in my opinion. The characters seemed rather clichéd to me, as did the whole story. In addition, the game is not horror at all. I think the game lacks... ingenuity or maybe uniqueness, in terms of plot. And again - only my opinion, nothing more.
This game was amazing to play. My only gripe with this is that it is too short. There was potential to expand more on the mystery but dind't which saddens me :( It ending early left me with a feeling of longing (heh). Wish the game was lioger but still good! I'm definitely waiting for more games by them! And honestly, i love the charming pretty boy × too tired for A's bullshit dynamic Noah and Hugo have.

"Hugo Laurent" reminds me of Hugh Laurie
