[h1]A cozy and hostile adventure.[/h1]
•[b]Sadistically[/b] rewards curiosity with plenty of interaction dialog, or a detailed and gruesome work of sprite art.
•Unsettling monsters that are never too far away.
•A mysterious story that may evoke some all-to-familiar memories in those who were teens in the 2000's.
Rewarding to replay, as the game can be cleared quite fast, once you commit where's what to memory.
There's significant more freedom to tackle objectives than there was in Lily's Well, Pure Blue Ice's previous title.
I appreciate that Pure Blue Ice took the time to implement multiple save files this time, as that cut down on the tedium of 100%ing greatly.
Looking forward to the next game!

When I first found Lily's well, I enjoyed it deeply, eventually playing it even though I had already seen the entire game. So when I found out that the same creator made this game, I knew I had to give it a shot. And just as expected, I fell in love with it. Pure Ice Blue has this amazing ability to balance horror, humor, and heartfelt storytelling all at once, and this game is no different. Mitch is deeply compelling to me; I won't spoil why, but his character feels so real and the story pulls no punches. Play this game, the nightmares are worth it.
