This game reminds me of Coraline (☻_☻) the music, the art, etc.

[Scribegamer]

@PrincessQPatsy Yes, they do seem to follow a similar vibe

[littleflamestar]

oh! i dont like it :L lol i love it but i hate it and would never play alone!! but i feel likei want to meet the wolf!!!

[Scribegamer]

@littleflamestar The actual wolf encounter is interesting ... actually probably the least creepy of the encounters compared to the other forest denizens who stand in as wolves for the different sisters.

[DaTaFiEnD7]

Your a great commentary person XD I laughed constantly practically at the truth you told of this game! :P

[Scribegamer]

@DaTaFiEnD7 Thanks : )

THE MOST EXITING GAME OF THE YEAR!!!

[TheStickofWar]

So I take it that the wolf is supposed to be the modern Child Molester?

And when you ride on his back its like a guy saying "Hop in the car we'll go for a ride" and when you die... Well self explanatory.

I haven't played this game, and because Im a cry baby, I never will attempt it :D

@MrParadoZia Im pretty sure it was supposed to be scary/creepy and I wouldn't agree with it being 'charming' but overall it was ok-- but much too slow like walking took ages...:s

[gandalf378234]

I wanna meet the wolf plz!

[Devilish016]

This game wasn't as scary as expected. Took me n' my best friend like 5 hours to beat it and the pink-smoke-scene with the naked person was hilariousssss. Most of the game was actually really funny...not their intention I'm sure..:X

[wootlanter]

I was wondering if I should buy this 'game' or not? As I'm not sure whether I want to fund this Belgian couples' insatiable appetite for hardcore drugs...

@TheKitsuneMuffin its much easier to think of this as not a game, but a form of interactive art

[TheKitsuneMuffin]

I dont really seem to understand this, Ive watch some gameplays, and Ive seen a wolf that apperently dont kill the girl your playing but if you sit on his back hes going to run around and you end up lying in the rain, and you will look kinda like a zombie.

And whats the point of the game? do you have any missions? any misterous puzzels to solve? Or to stop something horrible to happend?

[123abcmelovelps]

why does the wolf get you and that you fail when you go straight to gram's with out going to the woods ???????

[teldiron]

The art design is beautiful and possibly bar none, but I think the game itself has not much substance and takes too much time. There's also no good reason to have so many girls. The greatest difference are different thoughts in text messages. It's like the game never got beyond the concept phase, there's so little content. I also reject the mockery of committing hours to collecting all these apparently pointless items.

YAY!!!! That was sooooooo good!!! I've played the Graveyard, and I felt the same way. It was so sad when she got tired. Oh, in the full version (I don't have it) you can actually die. ITS SOO SAD!!! T_T
