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

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

- 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.

excited to play through this one again soon. i got k's ending! :) i wish i'd saved because i had the choice to get r's too, but oh well :( more time for me to appreciate the art.
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
this is very clearly lovingly made, wonderful little queer game although i havent finished it quite yet!
Are both love interests women?
can relate
fr
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
it better be
The game kept crashing on me, but it's still very good nonetheless!
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
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
Love the game its so good!!! Only been able to get two endings tho
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.
Which ending do you get?
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!

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!
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.

I am in love with the artstyle
