I really enjoyed this game! The spooky atmosphere and creeping anticipation were great! 

Thank you so much for playing and rating! We loved watching your playthrough, the art at the end of you with Lennie is adorable. If you'd like, feel free to check out our other visual novel, Star Crossed! https://ufo-studios.itch.io/star-crossed

Great game! though I wish it were longer

Wow! I really liked being a rat pawn. No spoilers but it was really well done!

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed your time with our rats :)
