This game definitely deserved to win 1st place in the Spooktober VN Game Jam. The artwork initially caught my attention, and as I started playing, the captivating narrative kept me engaged. I couldn't help but develop a deep affection for the characters and their relationships—I was particularly intrigued by Hugo's backstory and wished to learn more about it!!!
absolutely loved this game. although short, the story and artstyle were both great. i also enjoyed the chemistry between hugo and noah and their personalities :3 keep up the great work!!
Amazing game and definitely well deserved 1st place for the spooky jam. Everything is immersive, be it the distinct artstyle, the lovely music or the interesting story. I loved Hugo, Noah and the adorable dog.
Such a polished game, I'm so happy that I get to play this and look forward to playing more of your games.
Wow, I enjoyed this game so much. Thank you for this great experience, it was like watching a movie.🤩 I wish you and the rest of your games great fortune. Keep up the great work and stay healthy.😁👍
Keep up the good work and stay safe!! 👍

Wonderful artwork and a spooky, yet poignant storyline! I understand it was done for a jam, but I would've loved it even more if it were much longer. I'll be sure to look out for more stories from PI Hugo in the future :)
Hey! I noticed this game does not have Chinese localization, which I would like to offer for free. I am native in Chinese and have some experiences in game localization (not professional tho). If you are interested or want to know more about me to make sure I am competent, feel free to contact me via email. My email address: jarawlith@gmail.com. (I also posted this on steam discussion just in case)
I wish this was wayyyyy longer!! I'd love to get to know the characters more, especially Hugo! The art was great and the storyline was nice for the length of the game. Also absolutely love the dynamic and chemistry between Hugo and Noah! I will not ask but I will beg 2,098,763,219 times on my knees for more about this world.
I absolutely loved playing this game! It's been a very long time since a visual novel actually had my heart racing and freaked out by a still image. The mechanics and animations were all smooth and intuitive! The characters are so gorgeous and the narrative just drew me in.
This was one of the few games that caught my eye in the Queer Games Bundle. Now having played it, I love everything about it (except for the length)! You nailed the atmosphere, the characters are charming, both the character art and background art is beautiful, the descriptions were expressive and the dialogue felt natural. The good ending was super sweet! And yeah, everyone is hot in their own way...
I couldn't look at the thing because creatures like it are my worst nightmare, but that's a personal gripe. Mainly, I only wish the game was longer since I enjoyed it so much! I'll be paying attention to this studio in the future and really hope we'll get to see more of these characters! Much love xx
Too short. No time to get attached to the characters. No time to get sad. The story is also predictable and confusing. What was the entity is it guilt? Why wasn't it properly explained. Why wasn't Hugo given a backstory. It's too cryptic to be properly enjoyed.
A mermaid what? Was it Louis seeking revenge or was it all just a mere hallucination?
There's also too little conflict. Not a single flaw or arguement. The characters feel like an empty shell. I really really love the original idea and the concept but the way you execute is still too lacking( the flow of the story ) I was really looking forward because the quality of the game( controls, graphics, music) is too great ( that it's too undeserving to be free, I feel like a filthy criminal for downloading this for free) but this will take more to be something.
Though I'm new to this. I would definitely consider supporting your guys work in the future! ( Even tho I barely have money and don't know how, I'll try to figure it out ). That said this needs to have a community, expand it more, get people to talk about their interpretation but don't be too much on that. Be attentive to story since this is a visual novel, even with pretty images or an amazing experience without much depth on the story it will not mark on peoples head or at least in my head, I might be wrong. I hope I'm wrong, since I really like this game.
Loved the artstyle & the atmosphere. The story was short and sweet, pretty much the perfect length. I would love to see more stories of Hugo and Noah, and Colby.

Short and sweet! I love all the characters and just enjoyed watching the short story unfold. I wish it was longer just so I could see more adventures with them and how they'd interact more.

I loved it!!! The story was short but really impactful. This will remain with me for long. :")
We were kind of, uh, drunk off the atmosphere, but we did have fun and this is really impressive!
Thanks for the good time :)
