Such an awesome little game with such a unique artstyle! 

Awesooome, thank you so much for playing, I'm glad you're enjoying the chapters! : D

RE:ZERO Meets Horror: Is My Reality a Nightmarish Illusion? | 'Julia Was Alone' Chapter 1 Gameplay!

Cool gameplay! Thank you so much for playing! : D

(+1)

very interesting game, i just wish we had more options to choose from.

(+1)

This chapter was pretty lineal (chapter 2 too, I guess), but Chapter 3 and 4 definitely have more options

(+1)

I ADORE THIS GAME SO MUCH!! One of the best horror games I have ever played! Sad that it ends in chapter 4 :( 

I also have a game idea! 

The game is about Guiliano's life, and we get to play as him. It shows us how he lived for the past 125 years(ish). I'm not sure if you like the idea or not; it just randomly popped into my head. 

Have a good day!

(+1)

Thank you so much for playing and for your kind words! : D

We'll definitely let the Julia universe rest for a while and focus on new projects, but perhaps one day all these characters (including a resurrected Giuliano) could come back! Only time will tell

(+3)

Just finished the game and I'm immediately going to play the sequels, I loved it. Also does the Motor Oil do anything, or is that just an easter egg?

(+1)

Thank you so much!
The motor oil is just an indicator that the mother is a robot

(+1)

Can't wait for Chapter 4!

Awesoome! Thanks for playing! : D Chapter 4 will be available....in a few minutes!

(+2)

The color palette immediately caught my attention. I really appreciated the setting options. It was a really psychological experience, which I'm not used to, but really enjoyed. 

(+1)

I just tried it, and was greeted with a wonderful classic feel. It felt like I was playing my old NES! W game, man. I will try to complete all chapters.

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked the retro vibe! : D

Hi! I saw your game on youtube and I really liked it! I was wondering if you could publicize the OST? I really liked the chase theme with the mom!
