I really enjoyed playing this game! The perspective of playing as a ghost was very unique and I liked learning more about the ghost's history as I played through the game. The extra details about the setting that you can read depending on what options you pick are great too.

The setting and storytelling were especially well crafted.  It reminded me of some places I’ve stayed.  I didn’t realize until reading the other comments that this was in the petite morte category. Impressive.

There’s a lot put together there considering the petite mort timeframe to make the game. It’s a sad little game, where you are a ghost trying to get anyone’s attention before time runs out and learn what is needed, before time runs out.

I kept forgetting this was an LPM. Really nicely put together, and genuinely tense. These millennials and their early bedtimes are threatening the unfinished business industry!

I had played it, but I hadn't written to you. I liked it; it was well-narrated and had plenty of content for 4 hours. It's an interesting story that needs more than one playthrough to discover all the content.

Very polished and well-written-- am incredibly impressed that this was done in four hours! I got the good ending in one playthrough, but enjoyed the sense of tension and the clock almost running out.

I'm impressed by how complex this feels given the time constraints! Nice autumnal atmosphere, too.

Thanks, Emery!

A charming ghost story where the biggest source of tension is trying to beat the clock (you don’t have much in-game time to complete what you need to do, the game itself is not timed). Very nicely written, especially considering the LPM timescale!

Took me two goes to get the good ending.
