How it feels

A cozy yet macabre puzzle box of tragic tales, where cute pixel art contrasts with gory consequences and you must fumble through branching narratives to piece together a hidden solution.

What players say

Players love the cute art and music, and say the story is sweet even if it is named Bad End Theater. The game is short, taking one to two hours to see everything, and players describe the multiple-perspective storytelling as unique. Some players find the price a bit high for the length, and a few wish certain characters got more screen time.
