Played this game cause I love Junji Ito style story telling! It was a great little game and I think devs pulled off the game/story very well!! Super creepy yet simple!
great adaptation! love the animation and the overall style of it! the best adaptation of any of junji itos work in any kind of media ive seen in years!
what a cool rendition of Ito's work!! the lighting and shadow work of the map was extremely beautiful both during the day and night, provided a very unnerving atmosphere switch. very smooth freaky animation paired with unsettling music. incredibly enjoyable experience as a big fan of Ito's.

i loved everything about this game. The art, the story, the sound. Everything was great and I really saw the how Junji Itos work inspired this. I would really love to play more games like this so please keep up the great work!!
I loved the quality of the game as well as how similiar it hits to the works of Junji Ito. Hope to see more of such nice retro style horrorgames. Not convinced? Take a look at the gameplay:
Of course the story is fantastic but the animations are fantastic. The bounciness of the main character's simple movements adds energy that's then paid off with the last scene. The extension of time by making the player go up the stairs several times works really well too. Cool game & I love the style!
Easily the best Junji Ito adaptation to date. Hopefully (you'll have to forgive me) Uzumaki will take the crown when it comes out, but until then this is a solid 5/5 stars both as an adaptation and just some damn good pixel art
This was incredible! The art and sound design is amazing, especially the fluidity of the animations... Really captures the vibe of Junji Ito's work. Couldn't have asked for a better tribute!

Those youtubers who scream when theres no need fun game but not scary
Wowzers, you're so cool and tough! /s, seriously what does "girl's blouses" mean as an insult 💀

All I asked was how the hell that was an insult, doesn't even sound like english 💀 Be funnier tbh
"petal noun [C] (PERSON)
UK informal. a friendly way of talking to someone, especially a woman or child: What did you say, petal? (Definition of petal from the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary & Thesaurus © Cambridge University Press)"

This was one of the games that introduced me to the works of Junji Ito, and I am forever grateful for that.

great junji ito adaptation!
amazing game! I was completely into the atmosphere. Would like to play a full game like this
