Oh ho, this is fun. Great use of sound effects to heighten the creepiness.

Thanks for playing! There is actually no "good" ending so you probably did them all ;)

Nice little game! Very cool style. I found a typo: at one point the word "group" is misspelled as "gorup."

Spoilers ahead---------

If the game had a proper good ending, it might give the player more closure, like they've accomplished something at the end. Just my opinion. But great job nonetheless!

Wow! I didn't even knew I like this style of game before trying it, and I think this was a good start! I wouldn't mind play a longer version of it, great work!

I don't know if there's a good ending though, I tried every opition (I think) and always ended up having a violent death or getting lost haha

Thanks for playing! There is no good ending ;)

Thank you for playing, I'm glad you liked it! There is actually no real way to leave the game yet. I didn't even think of adding that! Also there is no single ending.
