    A very nice, almost visual-novel like RPGMAKER game, you examine objects and they tell you what to do next. There aren't any puzzles, you just interact with things and get instructed to do the next thing, then solve a mystery about you and your mother. It is pretty short, story is well written and has emotional impact.

    24 min played when written. 3 found it helpful.

    This is a really short little story, it took me 25 minutes to play through and I don't expect there's much or any replayability. Thank god for that low price. The narrative suggests that there is a rush, that it is time sensitive, but in practice there's no feel of that at all. DEVS. I think this game could benefit from some punishments, even if they're small, such as after moving so many squares after mother…
