A short, hand-drawn horror game where you perform mundane chores in a seemingly peaceful home while unsettling visions and mysteries slowly build an eerie tension.

What players say

Players praise the game's art and atmosphere, but note it is very short, around 40 minutes, with a vague open ending. Performance is sometimes called unstable though crashes are rare.
