the way i finished this game in 2 days, omg i was LOCKED in -- this is one of the many indie games that made me think about my own life + thought about for 2 more weeks
-what if you were a robot stuck on a space station with no real goal or motivation to do anything except to find a reason to keep living?
-plays as a dice roll when you make choices + has diff job "classes" that gives you benefits for doing specific tasks
-art is amazing + I wish I could draw as good as this
-the music has the perfect tone for the overall theme
-multiple different pathways you can take + endings, in which can be good, bad or neither
-i felt like i was just reading a really good visual novel

THIS is one of the only indie games that I will think about for the rest of my life, too many similarities that came up in this game which matched my own life + i was soooo sad when i finally finished it. Once the credits rolled i just stared in silence + dissociated until it was done.
-it came out at a perfect time when I finally moved into a new apartment with my bf + there was a lot of other personal struggles that we both had to deal with at the time + this game really took me out from that + put me in a more calm, reflective state
-like one scene where a recently widowed mother + her kid has to move away from their huge farm to be relocated into a small apartment like what I had at the time - the mother literally set up rope to match the sizing of how big the apartment + how frickin small it was compared to their acres upon acres of field they have right now -- how she has to start getting rid of precious items + choosing which keepsakes from her deceased husband she has to keep?? the way i almost cried trying to help this woman, nevermind the fact she kept reminding me of my own mom like ---
-im so jealous of the way the main protag draws + keeps a journal of everything she sees + hears! you can listen to gentle rain pattering on the roof or look at a cute bird drawing they just drew in real time
-omg i wish i could print out all the full page art spreads too, i love it
-the voice actors were all so good
-the scenery was beautiful + sound ambiance + how it starts to become a sunset when you get closer to ending the game, like it made me too emotional to leave the characters behind
-i wish i got amnesia + replayed this whole game again
-truly an underrated cozy game that the cozy gamers have missed out on

played this with my bf but i had to stop b/c of how unforgiving some of the enemies that attack you in this game, like i stopped being scared + was more upset + mad b/c i have to redo a lvl 3x over just to cross a bridge
- the way i was excited to play this game when the trailer came out + 1 hour later i was so over it
-i cant even remember the plot b/c i was so mad at the game mechanics omg
-full of jumpscares, typical scary yokai monsters but you play as a 16 year old girl trying to find her sister/ friend ??
-i love my own sister but aint no way im trying to search for her alone in the middle of the night omg

kids can be evil and cruel
-the story is A+ , the chapters are played out like a fake fairytale book that you have to finish or find the missing page
- your only real comfort is a cute dog that you can pet in the game! yayyy :)
- i felt incredibly bad for Jennifer and honestly, all the other orphan girls. they are evil little gremlins but damn the situations they were put in was only a result of that
- i was never really mad or upset at any of the kids, i just felt bad for everyone :( -- you can see why they are acting this way + treating Jennifer like a punching bag
-there are only 2 endings, both good + bad -- the good ending made me think maybe it was Jennifer getting therapy once shes grown up, and we are just playing it out in the game -- by reliving her memories for both the physical + mental abuse she endured in her childhood -- i want to believe this is why the whole game is like a jumbled mess of events that she is trying to remember // the bad ending is not really anything + the good ending is what the developers wanted to end the game as
-once again, adult men ruining everything good + being disgusting creatures ( there is implied child SA )
-the fighting mechanic pisssedd mee offfff wayyyy too much + honestly glad I payed on an emulator for the save states cuz no way I am playing this on the actual ps2 platform
-imagine your chara taking 5 full secs to get up + the enemy can hit your chara back down by the time you get up again + oh also if your health is low after a battle your chara starts limping on half the walking speed!!! you got to be joking, might as well reload your last save to save yourself time

they used my top horror of not being able to see anything in the dark + hearing voices that are not there --
-unfortunately i got way too scared + stressed of finding resources to live until the next night i stopped playing + watched a youtube video summarizing the whole story + gameplay
- the art style is very good + the top down view + the mechanic of only being able to see where you point your mouse really spooked me, the horror of seeing a monster run up to my character + not being able to do anything about it until it kills me :(
- i have never been so relieved to not live anywhere close to a dense forest + seeing morning sunlight
- another game that made me think about for a while after
-the story is very interesting + the ending does leave a bit more questions after

i actually felt bad for the main ghost girl tbh, once again, we can blame men for ruining everything good
-not too scary but it did jumpscare me a few times when i did play it with my sister next to me who cant handle horror at all smh
-i played on an emualtor + did use a walkthrough now + then to get through some of the puzzles
- wow there are some things that will end your gameplay early or insta kill you which is pretty accurate to if you were a 16 year old girl trying to escape a haunted school
-why is there so much body horror? crazy
-the ending is ambiguous but i want to believe everything is okay + everyone lives until 100 with no worries at all

am i going crazy? or is everyone just going to ignore all the fcked up shit going on in this office space?
-a summary of what it feels like to work in a corporate office space
- i got to maybe one of the very last levels + took a break but never got back into it
- very good pixel art + pretty decent RPG

IM SCARED IM SCARED IM SCARED!!! HURRY!! THE XENOGIRLIE IS BREATHING ON MY FKIN NECK!!! CRAWL FASTER GIRL!!! HURRRYY UPPP!!! --average level in this game + i already died 3x times over
- too many times this game made me sweaty with panic + anxiety, i had to take a few breaks to catch my breath + relax to be greeted by the xenomorph in the very next room
-all sneaking, no real way to fight in way? like they give you a wrench + a flamethrower but thats wayyy later in the game, its better to just be sneaky ok?
- ive never watched any of the alien movies so i went in fully blind + after finishing this game first + finally watching the movies they really stay true to how the movie looked, made with lots of love from the developers
- oh and hey! hated having to relive a flashback into the MAIN HIVE OF WHERE THE XENOMORPHS ARE BIRTHED???? i almost pissed my pants thanks

i should have played this on a better pc tbh but i pushed through
-plays on themes of ghosts + mental health ? (the game tries but i think they push it to the side + went down the route of ooooo scary mental patients, like what?)
- i didnt really care for the protagonist as much, maybe if i replayed it i would change my mind
-has a pretty interesting gameplay mechanic of splitting the screen when using your cool ghost powers
-the sneaking mechanic is horror in its own way

i had to watch my bf say yes to all the choices to join cthulhu despite my shock to his answers
-"i want to join the squid!"
-gameplay is a struggle, not scary at all, some of the voice acting is wonky

what if your just a copy of your past self + you wake up 1000+ years in the future trapped with psycho robots?
-i finished the very last level with my sister + we both stared at each other once the credits rolled and said "ok..and what am I supposed to say after that?" 5/5
- i really didnt start to catch on to the big twist until it was too late, hands on my head screaming
- very spooky, did scare me a few times, did not like the heavy stealth parts of some of the levels
- one of the better psychological games that I still think about it every now and then

One of the few indie games that should have gotten more recognition but gained more of a cult following. Heavy dark themes of depression, loss and suicide.
-the only scary parts if your not able to handle blood, body horror or any of the mature themes above
-the art style reminded me of old 2000s pc games online but i started to grow closer to it the more i played
-soundtrack fits perfectly with the overall theme
-the voice actor for Susan Ashworth, Lynsey Frost, deserves an award, she really killed it
-one of those games that I thought about for a long time after finishing it
-my fav scene was when Minzy was having a heart to heart talk with Susan on her balcony, the reason why she came to Susan in the first place. her whole story broke my heart + was read out very well by the voice actors
- i wish i could get amnesia and replay this game all over again

Based on the chinese tv show of the same name, a mystery side scroller where the truth is unraveled through the perspective of one of the child protagonists. Three children unintentionally film a murder scene, and become involved with the main suspect however the mystery seems to go deeper than anticipated.
-not too scary, the only part that really spooked me is the first few levels being inside the house where they mom did really jump scare me + one chase scene in 3rd or 4th level
-puzzles are okay, not too difficult to solve
- some english translations was lost but nothing that would not get you to understand or stop you from solving a puzzle
