Parece ser um ótimo jogo mas infelizmente não sou bilingue, pelo menos ainda!!! 😭Adoraria que tivesse para português
Hello!!! I’m working on a translation! thank you for the interest! <3
Im curious what the freak happened at the forest that made her that way. Still nice story line, I finished it in one sitting.
me too haha (me when im vague)!!! but thank you im so happy you played!
damn this game is so good
thank you!!!
Man this is a really cool read! I did enjoy the characters, the story, and the art as well! Can kind of relate on dad issues as well (tho not alcoholic about mine.) And... Pepper!! Adorable!! Would definitely pet. Would also love to see Bea petting them. Still, again, a really good read.
I made a readthrough of this, it’s on the start (tho I did notice the game got updated so yeah, if there is one slight overhaul in one music from what I read, welp I’m sad I missed it.)
AWESOME! I watched your play through, that was fun! Thanks for playing and leaving a message!
You’re welcome! And thank you as well for watching! Also I forgot saying this, but good luck in your future endeavors!
Hello ! I really like your game. I am a French translator so if you want some translation, don't hesitate to answer me.

hope this helps ^^
i love this
This story is genuinely amazing; it's short but leaves a very big impression. You don't understand the fear that overcame me when I thought we ate Pepper, lol. Also, Josie reminds me of Dolly Parton TwT. Amazing story; also, the daddy issues are realllll. I get it frrr (not the cannibal part, just the daddy issues)
yay! thank you! i'm so glad you enjoyed it!!!
this was such a cute game yay thank you for making awesome yay
Peak
I have so many questions-
My main one is why did Bea spit up dark fur the next morning. WHO'S FUR IS THAT? And how did they get back to the house the next morning.
Anyways, great game per usual. Peak enjoyment!
maybe she thought it was fur?? hmmm. lots of mystery!!! LOL
thank you for playing!!!
Pepper is soo cute!! Also I thought Beatrice had a parasite or something inside of her ngl.
pepper is the goat LOLLL!! also maybe! we will never know if it’s her or a parasite 🤫
