The game itself is great (spooky, atmospheric, even quirky),
as testified by several reviews such as this one on... VICE:
Play This Very David Lynch Indie Horror Game (vice.com)
What I am compelled to add here is that... the developer is great too!
I had a problem with the game and Karolis got back to me almost immediately with a great, working solution.
I think this developer deserves all the praise and support indie game lovers can give.
Thank you! 😊
