I really did like this game along with its aesthetics. There were some times that I genuinely did get scared and I have three witnesses to back that up. They laughed at me because they do not understand me, but that is okay. Anyways, back to my review. I enjoy the vague nature of the game, honestly. My best time to complete this is around 2 minutes, 2:49 to be more specific--courtesy to my friend who recorded my time. Thanks to him, I know how the time and gaemplay function, quite meaningful honestly. I feel, sadly, as if I am missing out on certain aspects of the game, however. In the description of the game, you estimate the runtime to be about 10-15 minutes, however, I surmise that my first run was about maybe 3 minutes. That was only because I spent a lot of time giggling and smacking my bulbous belly over the comedic nature of this lost little homunculous--apologies if misspelt--finding his mommmy. I also find him to be quite pitiful as often he cried out for said mommy, with "mom" and his remarks about being "scared". I can relate to this little squeamish boy, perhaps girl? I too find myself "Scared" and calling out for my mommy, or "mom" as this whipper-snapper puts it. Though, my pity can only extend for so long as it turns out his mother is nothing but a decrepit being, perhaps a skull? Hm, I wonder if this little bundle of joy takes after his father more, or perhaps adopted? Either way, a mother's love for their child is very apparent within the themes of this game. I played this game 2 times, but I do wish for more in the future. I found the mechanic of pressing the "E" key to "pull" on the input levers to be quite fascinating and truly a monument in gaming fashion. I notice a lot of games usually using the "Enter" key for acts as such, perhaps "E" is short for "Enter" key? Haha, just food for thought I wanted to add :) no harshness here! Another aspect I found quite digestible were the numerous "smiley-faces" across the loaded areas. I do believe they painted QUITE the story within our little bouncy baby's mind. The constant comforting, speaking as if these "smileys", he he he, are our mother, hm, again, food for thought! I found that the contrast of the bright "baby" and the bright "smileys" to the scary "background" to be something of note. Perhaps this could mean more regarding our sweetiekins, our babe, and the perils of seeing a new world in the eyes of a juvenile. Hm, does make you think, does it not? Overall, I find this experience to be riveting despite the short runtime and do wish to know more regarding the deeper meaning of the game, if any, perhaps there is more than what meets the "eye". Haha.
This game leaves quite a mystery in your mind. The first mystery is what is our character. The second is, is this truly our mother. The third is, what does it mean that our character had to die to find her again. There's a lot of mystery to this but the good kind. This is a short but nice experience. The vibes for this game are very spooky and you get the feeling that something could just come at you at any time. I enjoyed playing this and it left some questions in my mind after playing this. Keep up the good work.

So weird but so memorable lol
This game was good but sad. As well as confusing I feel like it has a deep meaning that some can either miss or catch.
Another good game! Ending was a little weird, but I still liked it.
Nice game, confusing ending:
MOM?!...MOM?!...mom?... Youtube Link -
Good game
Great game for some reason it made me very uneasy the whole time.
An interesting game

Food for thought.
