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.
BEST GAME EVER / I NEED MORE AND MORE AND MORE </br> 10/10, THE UNIVERSE OF MARVEL AND DC NEEDS MORE PEOPLE LIKE THIS DESIGNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i really like this. junji ito's story went great with the animations. music and sound effects were good too. the thing crawling towards the blonde girl really gave me the creeps, so nice job!
I loved this game! It's so eerie and it does an amazing job at setting the atmosphere for the big reveal! If you wanna watch my experience you can skip to 12:40 in the video!
Lovely game! The controls were made clear which is always good, as well as the detail that went into the art and animation. I appreciated the small easter eggs of course. Seeing Yon was really a treat. The music was great and really helped with atmosphere, though towards the end I found it a little distracting from the actual horror.
Over all great game, very well made with a lot of love put into it.
