The truth?Many people are blinded by the light of lies.
This game sheds light on why you should always think for yourself.
Short, but sweet and well done. Kudos to all involved.
Didn't run into any bugs, hiccups or snags.
A neat little VN that explores the anguish of a character trapped in a cult. There's more than one ending, and it was a great concept. The art style is visually perfect for the game's theme, alternating between the light, bright facade of the cult and the occasional glimpses of something darker lying under the surface. The voice acting was also on point. Overall, I enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for playing! Great video :)
I got ending A. The arts and design are great and well-context. Dialogues and voice over are good too. Great game!
Thank you! :)
This was a neat little game, I really liked the art style, good work :)
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing our game :)!
Focus on the Light. Nothing but the Light Matters.
It was a strange experience playing this game. The choices you have to make are off-putting to say the least. You didn't have any happy endings or options to choose. Either you accept your fate, or try to run away from it. You cannot hide from your sins.
I have enjoyed the game very much, it is great.
Glad to hear you had a good time! Thank you for playing :)
Truly unsettling, visually stunning and story telling is rich, intriguing and decent. I enjoyed this, although I was pretty uncomfortable finding all the endings, as I though my ending was best suited for my character. Great job with the game!
Thank you so much!
