You wake up to your girlfriend burying you alive, and she won't be convinced that you aren't dead.

One of several problems, it turns out, as you find yourself dealing with rats trying to take a few early bites out of you! 

And just who is the girl talking to you from underground? 


FEATURES

  • 2 strange (but charming??) love interests
  • 3 endings with full panel illustration
  • Original, atmospheric art and soundscapes
  • So many funky rats you can barely keep track‼️


CONTENT WARNINGS:

This game deals with actively being buried alive, as well as a great deal of rats- played mostly comedically, but there all the same.

Angela He I love you, I am always raving about your games to my friends and forcing them all to play. I await every new release! Your art is incredible and always has some eerie twist to it that makes everything you do incredibly engaging. I hope you know that your games are deeply beloved even if they are not widely known :)

Wirklich SEHR hübsches Visual novel mit einem fragwürdigem minigame und manchmal etwas nervigen Task um die Ratten abzuwehren, die einem das Gesicht wegfressen wollen. Die Geschichte ist mysteriös, irgendwie bittersüß aber auch interessant weil ich wirklich gerne wissen möchte was hier eigentlich passiert. Definitiev eines der individuellsten herangehensweisen für ein Visual Novel und daher auch ein Paradebeispiel wie man selbst mit limitierten Mittel großartiges Gameplay und Effekte mit integriert. Leider gab es einen Punkt an dem wir keine weiteren Dialoge oder Spielrunden hatten und somit softlocked waren.

Hey was there a specific dialogue to get our girlfriend's ending? I was at the choosing between both K and R in which I could only ever choose Remi 😭 don't get me wrong love her but I wanted to get our girlfriend's ending. Just wanted to ask if there was a specific set of choices to trigger it, thanks ^_^ 

i'm the opposite! R left me and i'm not sure what i did wrong because i was trying to get her ending lol...

Ladies and gentlemen, beware of psycho thots.

The art is great and the game is very well made overall, 11/10, would show it to my rats

YOU HAVE RATS?! :D

Beautiful game, I love the artstyle and how the grave screen slowly fills in as we get injured. Took me a moment to realise I was supposed to be scaring off the rats whenever we heard them squeak; I was far too focused on the conversations and card game. 

You did an amazing job on this game!

Just watched your playthrough lmao

the artstyle is so pretty!!! also loved kay's design and the cute rats

I loved this game

que bonito juego

Are both love interests women?

Really nice game.

Consegui o final em que eu simplesmente morro, o final em que fico com a garota dos ratos e não estou conseguindo o único final que quero que é sair daquela maldita cova. haha

sounds like a weird ahh fetish

The game kept crashing on me, but it's still very good nonetheless!

Hi there, I am DragonExplosion and I am a Youtuber. If you like my videos, please leave a like and subscribe at my channel. It has been a long time since I played games by the creator and I really enjoyed the game. I went for the main girlfriend ending because I feel that we should be dedicated to our partner that we have chosen XD. Thank you for reading my comment and I will be looking forward to more games in the future. :)

Took me a couple of playthroughs to realize that I needed to kill the rats because I am foolin' sometimes. But once I grasped the concept of the game, I really enjoyed the metaphor combined with a sense of urgency.

This was a fantastic experience and I really enjoyed this game. The story was amazing and I loved the choices

Loved your game. Enjoyed both characters a lot! Also that it was funny in a lot of areas but then ended with a strong hint of serious relationship problems. <3

Def an interesting play!

I love the game but i kept dying of laughter when the sound effects played in the card game


my humor is broken

(+1)

Love the game its so good!!! Only been able to get two endings tho

(+1)

I thought the rats were there to make a hole and not to eat me, lol. Anyway, I loved the game and the music. It seemed odd to me (at first) that Karina and Remmie have a voice but they don't actually say things as such, but I got adjusted to it quickly anyway. It was a nice experience, as well as the drawn endings (although rather than the way it's presented, I hoped it'd looked like the way the rest of the game is. It stuck out in that way, I liked it).

I love both girls and all the rats very much. RAT ARMY

Charming little game!

you're a fucking god.

I love the artstyle and the funny little rats, but I always get the same ending.

(+2)(-3)

Which ending do you get?

(+3)(-1)

I stop.. attempting to grasp for air as the earth dares to cover me. The sounds of the wind and the moonlight shining over me. The scarlet red rose of thorns that come from the love of death. This is it.. this is death..

This game was phenomenal to play, it encapsulates the idea of being able to change the outcome of life and death without being able to actually do anything. Being shackled to the earth is a great idea to play off of.

The card game was fun to play however the yes and no sounds were considered odd to me, the game designers choice to implement that idea was awesome!

Thank you for this wonderful game!

I had a great playthrough. A very beautiful game as always! Love the concept of being buried alive by a pretty woman.

Got all 3 endings, yay! Really great game! I felt so special when the rat goddess showed up :D

I had a lot of fun theorizing about this game and thinking of scenarios to explain the circumstances we find ourselves in. Beautifully illustrated as always! 

(+1)

I got the "live to see another day" ending, very nice game ^^

oh i love the art style and the mood of this game very fun!

I love the artstyle and the funny little rats, but I always get the same ending.
