So the Hag's story is hinted throughout...There was a house with a mother witch and two daughters. The one of the daughters was born deformed and eventually went mad. She hated her appearance so she smashed all the mirrors and even torn out her own face from the family portrait. At some point she turned her mother and sister into grubs and kept them in the basement. Any children or people who entered the house would be turned into an insects and killed. Small detail, the player kills a kid that was turned into a slug for a key he swallowed.

I LOVE the Witch in this game holy crap. It's like taking all the stereotypes of typical cartoony witches and cranking it up to an unnatural degree. Even down to her cackle, which sounds like it's coming from something that doesn't know how to laugh properly. Also- it looks like it's not an old lady, but rather is wearing an old lady like a costume.

Like someone said below, i love how the girl actually has different reactions to certain parts of the game. When she hides and the Hag gets near, her panic adds to it. Even the detail of her sweating and her eyes following the monster's direction. Like she is in so much fear, she has to keep a close eye. Things like that, adds to the suspense. And when she gets spotted, she gets shocked and continues to act so, until she is hidden out of sight. Even when she goes down to the basement area, you can see she is nervous and scared of the dark, even with the little light she had. A complete contrast to the unemotional sprites in some games, and i'm all for it. It adds a sense of realness to it!
@kleptomcrunfast13733 жыл бұрын
Agreed! And the girl's eyes following the hag's footsteps also help confirm what your ears are hearing in terms of where the hag is. It's like a hint that helps you know when the witch is passing above or below you.

Police were called to 1000 Quarry Street, VA, to discover two missing local children and evidence of a violent struggle. The property has no apparent owners since its condemnation in 1981, but shows signs of persistent squatting by what the police assume is the kidnapper. The caller requested that their child, who reported the "gnarled hag" to them, be unnamed in the proceeding coverage, due to concerns of trauma. This is Channel 8 News, bringing you the latest in the thrills and chills of Virginia developments.

Attention to detail. Her pupils dilate from the sheer terror and adrenaline when the hag goes over to check the girl’s hiding spot. It’s like her mind is saying “This is it. This is the end.”. And then the hag goes away. And the girl calms down. Makes me want to go all out and protect her. In the ending scene, I could pretty much relate to her. Back then, while I was 7 years old, I would sleep in the dark... But when I opened my eyes, there were shadowy figures in the my room. There’s a scientific name for such things but I forgot. Then I started sleeping with a bright LED night light plugged in. I’m 20 years old now, but I sleep with two night lights, and a laptop on full bright running under my bed. I do this... Especially in the sketchy neighborhood that I’m in. And I lock my door. And I cover my window. When I do try to sleep in minimal light, I sleep with my back to the wall. If I don’t, I have these automatic thoughts spiraling through my mind. *“There’s something behind you.”* is what goes through my mind if I sleep facing the wall instead of away. Then I start believing that there’s something behind me, and I wouldn’t be able to sleep. I want to turn around, but I can’t. And when I do, and eternity has already passed. This game has resurfaced some night phobias of my younger childhood. But I’m alright now. And no, it was not night terrors or sleep paralysis demons. I can clearly remember rushing my light switch in record time. Maybe for the girl in this game, it was all just a nightmare. Maybe it was real and she was kidnapped. But there is a lesson to be had here. Children have growing imaginations, and a unique perception of things that socially normal adults don’t have. If anyone ever has children, take care of, love, and protect them. But not to an obscene obsession. What they say may or may not be true. But we must act accordingly and responsibly for their sakes. Because there are emotional scars that can follow them into adulthood. A perfect example would be me. Wow. This game really did a number on me. The only other game that seems similar in the tension factor with a little innocent girl as the playable character is called “Dreaming Mary”. But this one feels way too surreal to be compared to that game. Edit: Attention gamers. If you look closely and analyze the ending scene, you can see the lamp is on full blast. Yet the witch got inside. Door is closed. Curtain is... Wait... Cover your windows is what I said... But the window... It’s not covered by the curtains. Oh no.
@kikopower3 жыл бұрын
Wow. I didn’t expect anyone to listen. Let me elaborate on my childhood. I was simple. The youngest of three brothers. I wasn’t perfect, and I was usually getting into trouble a lot. Went to church. I’m of Christian faith. Prayed to God, served my sacred obligation to him. Played lots of PC video games, and Nintendo games from 2000-2010. Loved to eat. And I helped my parents do chores. Went to school. Blah blah blah. But I had a different mindset aside from others. Not a psychopathic one. Nor a distorted reality. Actually... A different mindset is pretty normal I guess... So how was it that I was able to see things in the dark? I still see things in the dark to this day. My house was normal. Not haunted. I lived in a decent neighborhood. I live in a new house with my family. Not haunted. Mind you this in California, USA. Spot on in the middle of Silicon Valley, where a lot of science and technology happens. It’s not the safest place in the world... But still. I don’t like the dark. Pitch dark. Outside the house darkness with the natural moon light, and ambient LED street and house light... Pretty relaxing. Especially with the cool night air during summer. But... I see things at my home, when the sun goes down. Just recently, I saw a old lady in white inside the kitchen. Noped right back to my room. Gosh... I have a craving for food at that time. Or my mind will start making out dark faces in the windows when there’s no one even there. When that happens, I have to turn on all the lights and steel my nerves. It’s especially intense when I’m all alone and my family has gone somewhere for a couple of days. Sometimes one of my parents or brothers stays with my. But if I’m alone, every little sound unnerves me. When the sun starts to go down, it’s time to turn my house into and impenetrable fortress. I close and lock all the doors and windows. I cover all the windows. I get my snacks, water, flashlight, and a long kitchen knife. I even have a Bible and a hardwood stick. I cover the bottom of my door with a towel so no light peeks through. And I wait out the long night browsing the Internet until the sun rises. Even my closet. I don’t have a walk in door closet. Mine is a sliding door mirror closet. I block it with a stick so it can’t slide open. And lets not forget the AC vent. I closed it partially so that I can’t see inside, but open enough to have air flow through. Maybe I’m just paranoid. Or I’ve had a long day and need a glass of water and some sleep. Whoever is reading this, it’s alright if you don’t believe what I’m saying. You don’t have to. Just listening to me rambling about my personal experiences with the dark comforts me. Thank you. Stay safe out there during this... Situation. Enjoy your video games.

Some final things that I want to add. I guess this is why I’m a narcoleptic insomniac. I also make sure to eat and use the bathroom before night. This one time, I was with my family at visiting our cousins at their house. I was probably 9 during that time. My parents were taking with my aunt. I was with her son, whose a little older than my second oldest brother.We were playing games on his PSP in his room... Then he goes outside and tells me to wait. Then he turns off his light and holds the door shut. It was complete pitch black darkness. His window was covered completely. The bottom of his door was covered by his carpet floor. I was in full panic screaming for more than half a minute trying to pull his door open. Yeah... I need therapy. The darkness part of the game, and the ending scene really awoke a lot of my past fears and forgotten memories of the dark.
@kikopower3 жыл бұрын
Okay... Final reply. I skipped the introduction. The girl entered the place on a dare. That’s even worse. It’s already a red flag to see an abandoned house. But if there’s rumors going about it... Not even for money would I go inside on. I watch Top 15s/Chills. I browse the 4chan and the dark web. I’ve seen things. Not illegal criminal activity. But paranormal activity. Irl and on the Internet. I delve deep into the recesses of websites and books. I know information that no one my age or younger should ever have to know. Especially when I’ve been exposed to that kind of darkness for almost the entirety of my existence that I have lived.

I adore the artstyle, soundtrack and coding dynamics of the game. Her looking around frantically when she knows the witch is near or when she's running gives so much to the vibe. Even small details like her sweating while hiding, the witch stopping right above where she hears noise below, and her looking at the dead rat briefly amplify on the intensity and immersion of the game! Plus that the art style gives off heavy 2000's horror cartoon network vibes and I love it!

Things I've noticed about the game so far: - Is it just me (or simply the art style) or does the witch's face sorta look like a mask? (look closely at the jumpscare at 1:03) Especially towards the end (8:42) despite taking a hatchet to the face only the skin appears to be split (again could be me but still) - Pretty sure the "slug with human eyes" is a previous child victim, meaning the girl may or may not have committed murder - Who are the girls depicted in the paintings in the loft (6:40)? and why in the middle portrait is the person on the left has their face torn out? A cool game overall, I'll have to play it myself.

I'm pretty sure that the portraits on the wall are the Witche's in her younger days. I mean, the colors, the aging, how her skin seems to fall off on her what seems to be her adulthood, which would finally making her look like what she is now... Maybe her thing is that since her face is messed up, she kidnapped girls to take their skin and transform them into a slug? (You gave me that idea) Or, maybe that slug is just a zombie slug (based on the real life zombie snail. Look it up, those are real. Scariest shit I've ever seen. Among... Other things... )

At some parts of the gameplay, I realized you were able to tell when the hag was coming and how close she was. I was like: "Wait, how did he know she was coming?". But then I saw the girl's eyes and how they followed the hag's location. Which is why I think the gameplay mechanics of this short indie horror are amazing, really adds to the atmosphere. But besides that, really hope the ending is just the girl suffering bad trauma and having nightmares about the hag instead of the hag actually manifesting into a physical being.

I have a theory. It doesn’t mean it’s true, I just kind of thought of it. The entire thing was a lucid dream. The house? Dream. Hag? Dream. The end was just the girl having sleep paralysis. So if the game had a happy ending, it would probably be that. Or not. I dunno. Another common theory, the shadow was PTSD. I wouldn’t think the hag would go outside the house because of her face, so people don’t see it.

Please god no more dream endings. The “it’s all in [character]s mind” trope is old and done..but you do have some good points. I think the hag would go outside the house though, but just hide in the darkness. The hag directly came back to the girl and decided to play the music box to taunt her of what is going to happen. But if it was sleep paralysis the girl would’ve not been able to run AT ALL.

Absolutely love the art style and the attention to detail. Very cute and charming cartoon art style while the excellent use of sounds still makes this cute looking game a tense and scary experience. I love how the girl's eyes act like a radar to hint at where the Hag is, and the different expressions display the different gameplay states. One little detail I wanna point out that in addition to having different faces for neutral/hiding from Hag in same room/being chased, at 4:35 there is also a subtle face expression for "in same room as Hag but not detected yet". The detailed expressions go a long way to adding character to an otherwise mute and unremarkable protagonist, and I love how it's worked into the gameplay too.

After this, the girl who believed the hag's spirit is still after her, never found rest and continued to run as far away as she could to escape the monster. Eventually, though, she found her way to a tall mountain watching over the town, the beach and another mountain, she climbed all the way to the top of the mountain, ran into a cave, and fell into a deep hole... And no one heard from her ever again. Legends say the girl's spirit is still at the bottom of the hole, even after the hag's spirit has long been destroyed...
