What players say
Players describe a short visual novel in the style of a choose-your-own-adventure book, inspired by 1950s B-movies and classic games like It Came from the Desert. Some appreciate the atmosphere and art, but a few note the translation has mistakes and the creature itself is never shown in any image.
