Hah I got the bad end. A play again option would be welcome so I could try some other options. Art is spooky so that's good. Sanity health bar also good, gives you a ticking clock type thing. It's an effective little game!
I like the game its playable. Awesome story line and artwork for the game. I do wish at the end it would bring me back to the beginning to play it again. But its a great game over all.- Elizabeth
Viability: The game is playable from start to end, with multiple different branching routes that lead into each other nicely.
Presentation: Very engaging! I feel as though the font, the moving letters, and the black background add quite a lot to the experience and really help absorb the player into the terrifying world of the protagonist. The art is gorgeous, very clean but also unnerving as you get closer and closer to uncovering the monster.
Theme: There is an emerging them of fear, anxiety and how to handle it, through the actions you make as a scared child, it seems remaining avoidant is rewarded, while pushing against your fears is punished. Playing as this person is an interesting psychological experience.
Engagement: The story is very engaging and I am compelled to revisit the game and try to achieve alternate endings. The monster legitimately scared me and I feel the art and styling is the highlight of this game. The sanity mechanic is interesting, though it felt a bit unclear to me how exactly to keep sanity, as it seemed to deteriorate despite actively trying to choose against it, but that may have just been me and my play through.
So cool! All I would want know is to more about the monster, tbh. What's his deal? Developing the antagonist (the monster OR the mom) would be a good way to expand this story even further. Good job!

For someone who still fears ghosts and the dark, this is highly relatable.
Love the tension building up when hesitating to check the closet, had me holding in my breath
Simple illustrations that works with the concept and atmosphere
Thanks for letting me believe there's a chance to fight whatever's in the dark lmao
I love the added artwork <3 so cute and really captures the feeling of being a kid with a wild imagination for me
This a great story and the multiple ends are cool. The artwork is great and gives extra feel to the game.-Elizabeth
Really cute game, I like to imagine that this is just the protagonist's imagination and there isn't something in the closet. I like the writing a lot.
