The worst part? The kid still loved his dad. This is just agonizing.

✨Thank you for playing my game, and also to everyone who has left a review here. I'm glad that people actually like this game and look forward to the sequel. I'm currently in the development stage for story #2 and my goal is to release it by the end of this year. The plot will revolve around a completely new character and will have nothing to do with the old one! Stay tuned!

Remember the eternal saying:

I think I've noticed that Manly most often puts "disturbing" in the title of videos where children or youths are shown in abusive or predatory situations; he's always taken that subject pretty seriously. Being a defenseless young child at the mercy of a monster when you barely understand how the world or adults work is, indeed, perhaps some of the most disturbing horror.

So when the dad was saying “please don’t punish me” while laying down it was the reflection to the real world of him having hallucinations after murdering the son

[nitsuix]

Despite the fact that they're dead, I'm glad it seemed like the kids were happy and enjoying each other's company in the after life.

I wish i could give a medal to whoever made the model for the dad, when i first saw him my laugh sounded like a rooster mixed with bagpipes, well done

This game reminds me of Little Misfortune, how it follows the fantastical journey of a child learning to accept their own death, guided by some mystical and benevolent force

The fact manly was silent when Ron's neck broke makes me think this was a shock for both of us.

I think what is scary about this game is how this situations happens all the time in real life. The end of the game is pretty sad tbh.

[TheThunder]

Well, good on the kid for moving on after helping his mother defeat Mr. Redface.

[MrTAG-reym]

At first it felt like the story was moving too quickly, but then the revelation and how everything was connected was *chef’s kiss*

[spencerlively]

As someone with childhood trauma, the game emulated the fear of abuse REALLY well. The sudden scares that come out of nowhere made me hypervigilant while watching this to prevent myself from being caught off-guard ... which is what children are forced to do in these environments ... which unfortunately leads many to grow up into anxious, paranoid, self-destructing adults like the father. The intergenerational cycle of abuse is real, and it is incumbent upon the children who survived to break the cycle -- which isn't fair, but it is necessary.

Not to mention the child's denial that their father could do such a thing (which is why they get stuck in the loop). Aside from the murder, traumatic experiences like this are often difficult to escape from replaying over and over. Often to try to get the trauma to make sense -- to reconcile our rational mind with our betrayed inner child.

Anyways, good game.

I like the detail that the form of teleportation for each kid is in the form that they were left dead, as can be seen here 13:11
They appear out of nowhere yet it makes sense, the kid in the car was either killed then stuffed into the trunk, or left to die inside of it, the second one was either burned alive or tossed into the fire to hide the evidence, and the third was killed then tossed into the grave or just buried alive. The reason I gave to possibilities for each one is that the main character was choked in the air, yet still teleports through closets. So it’s safe to assume that the form of travel isn’t based on where or how you were killed, but rather where your body was afterwards in an attempt to hide it. But man this game gave me hella creeps and kept me shivering almost the whole way through, even though I’m only watching a video about it.

This is depressing. Especially for the other kids that Ron encountered. My heart goes to everyone who has been abused during their childhood. I hope you guys get the help you needed.

26:55 - she *DID* stay home to help her son!! the doll said "because she's only home late at night", but she stayed home that next day
oh that's tragic... I think I'm going to cry
28:49 - the mom was neglectful, but for what little it's worth, she did care about Son

[Oneiroi]

I think the most pitiful one here is the mom.

Bad husband, working like a slave, lost her child, suffer alone.

[CherryAnime]

26:04 The way he moves triggers a core memory I didn’t know I had. That’s just terrifying.

[Bewhouare]

This is just straight-up sad if you think about it. Children have high imaginations, and even if their parents are doing bad things to them, they still consider it as a good thing, showing just how messed up a child can be growing up with that kind of parent. They're too innocent for this world, yet those who grow up with this kind of parents are forced to see the reality of the world at such a young age.
