lov this game bro and also dark i feel bad for her wish i could took care of her such a cute game lov the artstyle i would lov to play another game by the same artist
I'd recommend using proton over the Linux builds for this game cause the Linux application formats are terrible right now (and this game doesn't work because of it, but its hardly the dev's fault). Maybe in the future Linux will have a better format but for now just use proton. (Add the windows executable: Game.exe as a non-steam game, then force compatibility tools.)
If you want to make the game playable for Linux users natively, I recommend the AppImage format, it works basically the same as the macOS .app format for your purposes.
I tried to play the game in Spanish but it always crashes, and when I log back in, I can't load what I saved previously. I tried to pin the game to the windows bar so this doesn't happen but upon entering, a gray screen that says NW.JS pops up and I cant play, It's a shame because I love the game. Is there anything I can do to fix it?
the game is fun
Dr. D. Light my beloved <3
MAN! Ik we get like a few minutes of Dr. D. Light but he's my fav tbh! He's just so happy and willing to help others
I love the doctor. But I need answers now! What the hell was that thing in the basement? D: I really liked this game, otherwise.
Hello author! Do you allow me to translate this game into Chinese? Although this may take some time. If you agree, how can I send you the translated game? (The above is the result of machine translation)
First of all, I LOVE your art style. Secondly, I need answers! Jokes aside, this game has created a truly unsettling atmosphere that I really appreciate
Hey! I've seen this game online and thought I would check it out. MacOS user and I can't get the game to open, even when following your steps. The folder nwjs is just a bunch of code lines. Having the same problem w/ the game Crow scare. Could download/open Cemetary Mary fine tho. Any tips?
Wonderful game, i mean delightful.
Amazing game
I wonder if this could be made EASYRPG compatible so that it can be played on mobile? I did see it was on arcadespot, but the sound wasn't working there :(
Please do not support websites that stole my game. Arcadespot does not have permission to upload my game to their site.
o shit, screw them then! I did not know that. That sucks, sorry to hear it! Won't be supporting that site going forward then
You can play it in JoiPlay, it's an rpg maker emulator for phones(it just doesn't work on iPhone), just search the website and download it, I play several rpg makers there(even Dead Plate) and played this one there too :D
emm，非常好，但我需要中文。
IM CRYING I HAVENT SEEN THIS GAME IN YEARSS
LMAO
THIS IS SO AWESOME
Cool!
edit: you can replicate th glitch, at the top of the stairs if you click the entrance to the kitchen it tries to go AROUND the wall and clips you out of bounds
a similiar thing happened to me when i was first playing inmimb:00
everyone go play arcade's other games aswell
LEAVING MY REVIEWS ON EVERY ARCADEKITTEN GAME
this game started EVERYTHING for me. when i witnessed that kubzscouts played this i was in shell shock i was in love with this game then i found your other games and went down the spiral... inmimb its its is is is is its amazing i feel sympathy for embry, theyre such a mood
This game made me feel so many things I was not ready to feel today. It was so sweet but so sad! I love the storytelling! Keep Shining!
Thank you thank you for this game I had so much fun and here is my gameplay
/// СПОЙЛЕРЫ ///
А какой по итогу сюжет?
Чел с ума сошёл, грохнул родителей и упёк трупы в подвал? И он придумал себе оправдание, что они в монстров превратились?
Если это так, то как бы мда...
how do you play?
tap game.exe then extract all
HOLA! si a este juego le pudiese dar calificación, sería un 10/10 :D
PD: pobre doctor... ojalá poder evitar su muerte :c
Этот мужчина клоун такой классный, он мне так понравился, но !!!СПОЙЛЕР так жалко его было в конце😭
sin duda alguna una de mis historias favoritas hechas con este motor de videojuego, me atrajo mucho
even though im not a scaredy cat, this game gave me chills. quite small but overall interesting! i wonder if the kid is the monster, and how could they kill their parents? and why? i guess we'll never know hahha
tak
this game IS AMAZING!!!!!!
i wish more people knew it :((

The story was really good and the open ended ending makes you think was it all real.
Honestly, I didn't play the game and all... but it was so fun watching Jay (Kubz scouts) play it. But it can't change the fact the game still made me cry, I felt sooo bad for the poor doctor who really want to help. Also my brother and I were wondering did she push him (The doctor) or did he slip?
A short but intriguing game! At the end, I felt really bad for the doctor and Embry herself. If a continuation is planned, I'll eagerly await it! Thank you ArcadeKitten!
This was the first arcadekitten's game I've ever played, when I finished this game I HAD to know who created it. It is such a unique game, I love it!
I loved this game even coming back to play it again after so long. The art is super cute and I can't help but love it. The characters are funny and I wish I could see more of them. I wish there was more of this game so I could learn more about the world and what's going on. I fall in love with this game every time I see it
This misguided child deserves whatever happens to "them."
bro what
Next time they shouldn’t add the unnecessary detail of their gender. Nobody cares, it doesn’t enhance the experience.
The only time Embry's gender is even mentioned is in the description of the game, not the game itself. It might not be important to you, but it is important to other people. If you find it an unnecessary detail then that just means it's not one put there for you, and that's okay. It's still one that's allowed to exist.
Who could it possibly be important to lil bro 💀
Nonbinary people who aren't represented in most media? Do you even know the first thing about minority representation. As the creator (a very talented individual) said, it's not a core part of the game, and it only mentioned in the description. The only noticable nonbinary reference in the game is the characters name being a play on "Enby". If a 9 letter word in a game's description scares you, you have bigger problems lmao
if nobody cares then why are you whining about it unlike everyone else just enjoying the game, funny enough i thought embry used she her when i started playing the game blind, even if i did later find out. I'm saying that it wasn't even pushed into ur face or smth !!! just leave it be man you're everything you're insisting not to be
I’m not whining, I just like to anger people. :3
clearly you cared enough to make that comment
Omg they just like me fr
i was on a journey of nostalgia through y8 games until i came across this game, searched it up and was glad to find the original here! i love the vibes and its just pure flashbacks to the jrpg horrors, and i love that it isnt like jumpscarey or anything but jus vibes. only thing is the ending is really confusing and im not sure on what to interpret from this...
anyways, keep making more!!
lots of love xx
