Some legacies carry more weight than blood ties.

After your grandfather's death, you inherit an isolated and decaying residence, shrouded in silence. What should be a routine inventory turns into a surveillance nightmare when you realize your every move... is being watched.

Someone — or something — is watching you. Someone knows your habits, your clothes, and your secrets.

No había visto que apenas era la demo y quede con ganas de mucho más, la escena en donde Mould cae sobre sus rodillas!! Ame mucho esto.

Necesito más esto, Mould es tan tierno y adorable¡¡

I love this type of games! The pictures are so weirdly eerie? Maybe I'm used to drawn/heavily edited ones where real pictures seem off and as well as all the objects having weird filters on them?? Prefect

QUE TIERNO ES ESTE TIPOOOOO, Perl debo de admitir que me da miedo la etiqueta de abuso fisico...

THIS LOOKS SO GOOD OMG

(+2)

This is good! I need more, I love the artwork

(+1)

This is soooo exciting! The artwork is so lovely and the ambient is unsettling but oddly comforting.I just feel like we are treating poor Mould a little harshly, but I do admit that in real life it is unlikely one would treat him much less harshly. Anyway, I'm definetly more than looking forward to the next update!

This is so good! He weirdly enough reminds me of myself, and the house images felt so homey. I loved all the enviornmental aspects and the general feel of this all. Imedietly got inspired. I really hope there will be more, seeing as this came out a few days ago. Good luck

Esta muy bueno! el estilo de arte es muy lindo, y la personalidad de Mold tierna y siniestra me parecio linda e interesante. me encanto la estetica del juego y, como lo jugue de noche me dio nervios en la parte del baño, el trabajo es increible :)

Review:
Amazing artstyle, the colours are nice and the clash between Mould and semi distorted/realistsic backround is really awesome. I love the option to choose pronouns. His personality is sweet yet creepy which works perfectly with the whole vibe of game (music choice is good too).
The one and only issue i have is lack of choices MC has, which i assume is caused by fact that there is only one day avaliable, but it was pretty frustrating to go thrue whole playthure of visual novel (whom are known for choices, even insignificant ones) without much of a choice.
Overall ill give this game solid 9/10, i love that guy and whole story line, its rather original.

(+2)

Thank you so much for your review! It's really important to me that players give constructive criticism. Since this is my first visual novel and it's short, I didn't really include many choices. But I intend to improve this in future updates, since they will be longer than the first one :D

I'm so glad you enjoyed the game's aesthetic and art! Thank you for your kind words!

Están lindo , espero con ansias el día dos y que llegue pronto al español

(+1)

Hiii, I just found your game and I'm really interested in it, I absolutely love the atmospehere and DO I EVEN HAVE TO MENTION HIM? I'M SORRY BUT I THINK I'M INTO THAT, whatever Mould is. And I was just curious, the game is supposed to be also released in Spanish right? I'm a native Spanish speaker and would love to help if you want to!

No pressure tho, I'm just offering ^^
