Note from the Developer

This game was made by one person, (hello it's me, aqua). I've spent about 7 months working on this game, while going through a lot in life. Personally, when I was younger, I was a big fan of this style and genre, but I don't see much games like this since.

So with that, I created this project, that really means a lot to me. So if you decide to purchase a copy, thank you. I hope that you'll enjoy this little indie horror I created.
