THE THIRD ENDING HELPP (also this is great!!! i love her so much omg)
Great game!! (Also remember me?)
i got endings 3, 2 then 1! fun game
bruh the game wont even launch on browser
It works for me on multiple devices - do you get an error message or sth?
nvm its working now
Great : D
yup
i played all your play in browser games....i want/need more...
Thank you! Dw, I'm working on more UvU
It's very fun to play I would def recommend. 10/10
1000/10 gahh i loved it!!
I got the 3rd ending in my first play through. wtf just happened
THAT THIRD ENDING HAD ME WEEZING IT WAS SO RANDOM I LOVED IT
Honestly, if this happened to me, I think I would have died.
OHHHH ANOTHER KATHINKA BANGER DROPPED? IM GOING IN!
2/3 endings and thoroughly creeped out. forever a fangirl of yours!
At least it was a skin-snatcher and not a skin-walker!
Ending 1: Free skin, no hospital bills
Ending 2: I don't think your insurance covers this (The real horror)
Ending 3: Damn bitch, you live like this?
How to survive an encounter without losing anything: have bad self-care, have a disease
I found the beginning where the protag retold the events to be a nice change of pace from how stories usually are winging it in the present. That you are effectively Schrodinger's hairy/less cat depending on what you said your actions were also allows a variety of conclusions (than just dying and it ending there) since you clearly survived if you were telling someone about it (...or did you? DUN DUN DUUUNN!).
Perfect mystifying atmosphere that a killer couldn't cut through (your skin on the other hand...) and morbid humor reminding me of Good Idea! and Good Job! (both also phenomenal games).
this girl's favorite reminds me of Toga in my hero academia.
I can totally see that lol
I did not even realize that Kathinka made this though, I did find the artwork very familiar
Gosh this was delightfully unsettling! The art style, the color palette in general, the faint ambient music...
The range of endings is wonderful! Heh, we can put together a proper guide to how to survive an encounter with her if you happen to run into her...

A comment from LOVE
<3
got ending one, then three, then two
She’s actually super cute and super creepy- but yeah, 10/10
Overall, I love this one. Love how weirdly caring the stranger is in effed up ways! And as always, I love the art.
been watig for this one
This was really cool! The story was fucked up in all the right ways and the hidden modification of dialog options is so neat :3
Thank you! I'm happy you think so : D
LMAOed at 3th ending! good game as always <3
Tbh it is my favorite ending - just because of how funny it is hehe
Slightly disappointed that the "Whoah...... You totally wanna give me your skin, right??????" scene you teased on Tumblr never made the final cut, but I loved this regardless :)
Oh, that scene was a test for the speech bubble plugin, hahaha I thought it was pretty funny tho, so I just had to post it x'D
I'm super happy to hear that you enjoyed this ,tho <333
casually sews on another patch of skin because you were mildly nice to me
The start of a wonderful friendship, I'd say <33
really amazing!!! the 3rd ending was something lmao loved it
Thank youuu!!!
I did consider not putting in the third ending, but was too funny to not put that in lol
cant wait to play another amazing game of yours!
SO COOL SO COOL forever impressed w the amount of story ur able to tell in such crazy limits its so awesome love ur work forever
Ahhh, thank you sm Charlie!!! <33
ngl it was sooo difficult this time around... I had my friend read over the script to cut some unnecessary passages because it was getting too long!!!
10/10. Best Game ever <3
