The Darkness comes. It has no power. I have roughly 30 cakes I baked into a cake fortress. I only had bitten one of them.

Good writting making you feel like it's the end. No need for sounds since the mood is already heavy. I had a crash when i hit the button "Dance". you can find it here if you want to fix it :

First of all, hats off to your writing. I really enjoyed the fantasy setting and the dark mood that came with every action. I did a few run through to try different options and enjoyed talking to Lorena best :)

There were a few quacks (I think I could never have the phone do anything), but overall it was short and sweet, although quite depressing as I was hoping there was a way out of the Mow!

Great job!

I really liked this game, simple, excellent story and mood, brilliant use of the LD theme, this might good be a good plot for a bigger game

I've spend more time than I'd like to admit exploring the dialogue paths. :P

An interesting nice game overall.

PS: In comments to my game you said it didn’t work properly for you. If you’re willing to assist and have some free time, you can help immensely by contacting me (on discord: HolyBlackCat#7530, or somewhere else) and running a few test programs for me.

Very nice one!
The intro reminds me of a Doctor Who episode :)

The writing is really top notch. Well done!

Maybe I'm not a visual novel fan, but this game is really pleasant for me. Maybe you could add more effects on screen, but maybe this was a point. Never mind, very cool entry. Nice job!

Well written, I liked the pacing. I wanted to go back a few times and explore more options, which I never do with visual novels. Nice work!
