I loved it! The music was really good and the characters were enjoyable. The art looked nice and the story was interesting. Overall everything worked really well together.
Here is my take, split into 3 parts as I tried to go through it nice and slow (no commentary, no facecam):
honestly, i expected this game to be a bit more scary (since it said it included jumpscares, but i didnt get any lol) but it was worth playing! i thought it was gonna be cliche (well, for some scenes like when Hugo took the locket) but it ended out well. i wonder..does that "caretaker" somewhat mysteriously takes part in this soon? (i only got the good ending and didnt try to get the other one, so im not sure)
i love this game so much! i've been looking for a game like this for a long time, and i finally found it! i love detective games and games that gives you a dark feeling. the art, the plot, the music, and the characters all combined are incredible! i also love the BGs and sprites. they're all so well-done! what i especially loved about this game was the world and atmosphere you guys created :) it made me feel that i'm really with hugo and noah.
i really hope you guys create another game in the future! i look forward to it. kudos and thank you to the devs for giving us such an amazing game! <3
i LOVED everything about this game! all the effort put in really shows and everything from the artwork to the soundtrack and game design is breathtaking. somehow this game felt really personal, especially after reading the dev notes. thanks for the great time and inspiring me to create my own story! <3
I just finished playing the game. I love the plot, the art style, EVERYTHING OMG. I just feel like the jumpscares would've been scarier if the sound fx was too but that aside, everything is great! I'm still confused as to how (SPOILERS) Henry suddenly became young then old again but I also feel like it's left like that for the player's own interpretation. Same goes with the green eyes going on. I'm guessing the guilt? And Hugo's got green eyes too hm. Anyways, thank you so much for this game! You all did a good job and keep it up! <33
Hi!! I write articles and reviews for passion and to earn a living. I am currently writing about Stillwater which requires a playthrough so I thought I'd pop in and leave my thoughts.
I am so deeply impressed with this work of art. I'm literally only a few minutes in, but the level of writing, the artwork, the music, it all sort of draws you in so quickly. The depth of story that you managed to weave within the first few minutes is awe-inspiring. It's impossible not to instantly fall into the storyline and I cannot wait to see how it turns out.
Props to creating two separate ending scenarios, don't think that's something I've come across much, to this level of detail at least. It's so heartwarming to come across a fellow writer of note on itch.io.
The entire atmosphere feels less like a game and more cinematic if anything. Keep doing what you're doing, I don't think I'm alone in saying that you're incredibly talented. I'd go so far as to call you a visionary in the mystery genre.
Thank you so much for blessing your followers, fans, and fellow writers with this absolute gold.
I'm delighted with this game, with its atmosphere and style! The game is great and I'd really like other members of the Russian visual novel community to have a look at this game! Could you please write to me if this interests u a little? I'll not demand money for the translation, not sell the game, and leave all the links on you.
Ah sorry for the late reply, thank you so much for enjoying our game!~
A Russian translation sounds like a splendid idea! We'd love to work together on the translation. We'll send you an email this week with more details!~~
Love the story line, the art, the music and character design is cool. Looking forward to anothet creation of the author. Kuddos to the artist and programmer.
Hello! I'd want to congratulate you on a job well done in this game! The art, the user interface, and the way you programmed the game are all amazing! Also, the eerie feeling I got while playing Stillwater gave me the goosebumps, and the way you chose the soundtrack for the game is fantastic. Oh! I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but Noah reminds me of Kaeya from Genshin Impact hahaha.
This game is so beautifully put together. I loved the atmosphere, the art, the GUI, the writing - all of it!! Excited to see any future projects from everyone 💚
meant to comment on this much earlier but here i am now! i sat in a call with a couple of my friends and played through this - we each voiced a character and had a blast! don't get me STARTED on the art it was all so lovely!! the atmosphere was great too! we loved hugo and noah so much and can't wait to see more of them in the future
Really love noah and hugo's dynamic!! Their banter was definitely one of my favourite part of the games! I would love to see more of them you got a really good cast!
The art is gorgeous ** and convey the mystery atmosphere really well, also love how expressive the sprites are! Nina's especially you can really feel her urgency...but I'm also in love of how charming noah is **
this is so good, honestly for someone who just started playing visual novel games for out of boredom- im happy this is the first few novel games i got to play!! :D
Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review on our game! I appreciate it so much!! And no worries! We also ship Noah with Hugo in this house loll Also I understand completely where you're coming from! I don't like seeing harm to animals either QwQ Colby is purely there to always save the day for the both of them!
Also thank you for your comment about Henry and Louis' relationship. Admittedly, I definitely underestimated the time for this game jam. It could have been more fleshed out had I written the script sooner;; But now that I know, I'll be sure to keep that in mind for their next adventure!! <3
Ahh Nina QwQ Hopefully, this won't be the last time you get to see her! ^^
Ahhh I'm so sorry if you were late for class;; At least you got to have a great breakfast to fuel you for the day QwQ;;

Good game did not deserve first place tho.
dude wtf
what?? it did not deserve first place as a horror game lmao
you might not know this, but when you stay stuff like that, you kinda ruin all of the hard work that the dev had put into the game lmao
Obslutely right, it deserved more than that. This game is just soo good
game is good it just did not deserve first place as horror category
yes but that's your opinion, not anyone elses, not the judges or whoever chose it to be first alr :)
wth do you mean not even the judges..??
Fantastic story and illustration ^ -^ enjoyed it to the end ^- ^
Fantastic, the art is wonderful!!! I love these characters and wish there was a TV show for it!

Is the music in this game copyright?
It's all royalty-free (1 song was bought) music!~
Oh Okay, thank you so much 😁
This is amazing! Everything seems so professionally done if you know what I mean, it really feels like a game you'd pay for with how well-made it is.
The story is so interesting and I loved playing through, I was hoping it would last longerr lol
