Big eldritch thanks to @Minus555 for inviting us back into this improved version — it’s rare to see a project evolve so much in tone and polish between demos.

He said he’d ruined his one good chance — and hoped I’d do better...

Hard to pick just one part – the whole office dread had me~

Choices where co-workers actually bite back, the MC’s tragic backstory, ghost-story visuals that crawl under your skin… and that glorious kitchen scare!
Oh, and the cat!

Loved it – can’t wait to lose my sanity in the full release ψ(｀∇´)ψ”
