Inkblot Methodology
The Rorschach test was introduced in 1921 and uses ten symmetrical inkblots. The images are ambiguous, so the mind tries to turn them into something recognizable. In this game, that idea becomes fiction: the ink is not here to diagnose you. It is here to hide a story.

(i actually filmed this playthrough two/three days ago, i just forgot...)
Loved this!! The callback at the end really sold it for me, was very enjoyable :D
that was super interesting, thank you! it left me wondering what has happened and craving more. i also love the idea of the story being depicted and unveiled through ink blots, as they are commonly used to help process trauma(i think), such as what the character is experiencing. however, i donβt know if itβs the player, or more accurately, beholderβs role is to pry into the characterβs mind, but i would be eager for a part two, maybe from the womanβs perspective before she died?

love the mechanic
This is actually so cool, I've never seen a concept like this so points for that. The story is really creative too and I was hooked onto it, absolute masterpiece.

Nice concept, I love it
Rally cool game. Simple but with definite impact.
Played this a little earlier today. This has incredible mood and presentation, there were also a few occasions during which I didn't really want to interpret the ink blots.
Thank your making this. I'll be checking the rest of your catalogue soon.
Found this from a japanese account on twitter posting about it (G_Godaka), very cool! ^^
