You were here,
just minding your own business,
appreciating the autumnal scenery
on your cozy evening stroll in the park,
when you meet a rather...
peculiar being.
A very tiny visual novel to celebrate Kate's autumn release. 2 endings, ~900 words filled with light horror vibes (~5 minutes of reading), and some pencil-lined and marker-painted creepy-cozy art :>
Note that the keyboard and gamepad controls are the ones used by Kate, rather than regular Ren'Py ones. By default, Z selects things, X cancel things, Left Shift opens the menu, A is rollback, and S is skip.
Credits
