i would keep terrifying secrets to be employed any day of the week, even if the pay wasnt adjusted for inflation.

The writing on some of the papers could be a bit bigger. Between the thematic lighting and type face script some of the papers are a bit difficult to read.

Hi! Thanks for your feedback. Did you right click on the papers to view them closer?

Yes, but even then the print was almost too small to read. I have dyslexia so sometimes the font used in games makes it difficult to understand just what I'm reading. I think I was able to get to the end though. Are there multiple endings? I burnt the [REDACTED] that had been mentioned several times in the papers. The Pig Pin cypher was a good touch. Keep up the good work!

Ahhh, that’s understandable! That’s great you managed to get through the game, though. Yes, there are 4 endings :)


Thanks for playing!
