The moonlight illuminates the animal that lies within everyone. Will you embrace it; or fight back?

On Halloween, a gang of teenagers in animal masks head out to set off fireworks and drink with their friends. Unfortunately, nothing ever goes right for you. As the night grows darker and pranks turn to violence, your friends start to change. Will you?

In total, I gotta love the brief writing style. Though one ending might be kind of unclear for me, I'm still fond of the strange relationship the characters kept.

And it's surprising that Patricia Taxxon's sharp and destructive music was put into the game and it did improve the horror atmosphere. I love Patricia's music.

Gotta love when people recommend stuff, this would have gone unnoticed had it been not for that.

Great horror and really loved the style

this visual novel just oozes style, hope it gets the attention it deserves! i was left wanting more from the world and characters, which is a telltale sign of a well-crafted experience

I really enjoyed the game, but just verifying that I didn't miss anything. There are just 2 endings right?

Thanks for the answer!

Kind of sad that there isn't more, but still, thanks for the effort making the game, it was really entertaining and well written, I got quite invested in the characters even if I just saw them for a short while.
