You really captured the creepiness of the story, it was really good! If you ever make more of them I'll be on them right away, nice job! Made a video aswell.
Well done! I'm a huge Ito fan and this was a fantastic tribute to his works. Colour palette was atmospheric, the animation of the neighbour was just right, and I squeed out loud when Yon showed up. Please do more.
Absolutely love this game, but want to make a note that while Junji Ito illustrated "Mimi's Ghost Stories" - the stories themselves are based on Kaidan Shin Mimibukuro (怪談新耳袋), an anthology series based on stories collected throughout Japan, mainly by writers Hirokatsu Kihara and Ichiro Nakayama. There was even a live-action television series that adapted "The Woman Next Door" as an episode that you may be interested in taking a look at!
Hope to see more stuff like this from you in the future, I recommend any horror or point-and-click fan to check this out, especially if you're fond of games like the Chzo Mythos.
Your game made it onto my list of 10 scary indie horror games from 2021. This was a fantastic way of experiencing Junji Ito's story. I very much enjoyed the way the game presents itself and how good the characters and locations look. Short, but definitely worth a play.
I would also appreciate if you could give an opinion on our latest game. Game devs advice is precious because we know better what it takes to make something work. It's called "Backdoor Shifts"
Great game! The animations were super good, and I really appreciated how well you explained the controls - that's something I find a lot of indie games don't always explain well. And Yon's cameo as the spooky cat made me smile.

This was such a faithful adaptation! It's hard to transfer junji ito's works to any medium other then art/manga, but you did it awesomely!

i love horror games
Amazing game. A pretty good horror game to start with, not too scary. Loved the pixelart visuals.
Hey, I'm looking for a new horror game to play, but I don't do well with jumpscares- does this have any?
I hope you don't mind the terrible voices I gave your characters. Excellent little story experience guys! Great stuff :)
