Game was made as a sort of prequel to another project I've been working on lately, I wanted to incorporate the setting and do a bunch of writing and worldbuilding stuff using NPCs and environments, as well as putting more effort into the artwork for this one. Ideally I'd have had time for another editing pass to tighten things up a bit, but it didn't work out that way. I wanted to convey the idea that this takes place in a larger world, with its own mythos and society, I'm not sure how well that worked out, but it was fun to try.

You do a great job setting an atmosphere with just art and dialogue. I’m surprised no story I’ve seen has ever attempted something like the Severing Plague before. It really shook me thinking about how people in real life just lose control of parts of their body as well. If this is a prequel I’d love to see what the other work is. Great job!
thankyou so much for your kind words, that atmosphere is exactly what I was going for with this!
