What Happened in Addison's Grotto

It needs to be found, isolated, and exorcised.

I've just started, and wanted to put this while i'm thinking about it. The audio is.... difficult to understand them. I can hear the woman very easily (and loudly) but the guy is much too quiet and almost sounds mumbled until the very end of the beginning 'cut scene'.... Still gonna play it, but I've no idea what was said other than the woman wanting to go home, and he said something about it being for her own safety, or something? I'm not sure... (It very well could be my APD (auditory processing disorder) though... (background noise, music, etc can make understanding speech very difficult lmao)
Ok, for such a simple game, this was really freaking cool. I'm not sure what about it made it so great, but it all came together for an awesome game! I would love for more of this type of game. Great job!
this was so freaking good. What a great idea!! really well executed.
love your game :):):)
Have played it 3 times now and it scares me each time! Creepy and sad, a good combo. Would reacomend to play! ( If u like creepy stuff)
Loved it!It was so spooky, and the creepy atmosphere got me o.o
Great work!
just beat the game really is amazing
This is a really creepy but cool game, 100% would play this again.
I am very confused on how to finish the game.
Hey there! Thanks for trying it! I've added some tips to the game description here on itch.io, but if you're still stuck (I assume in the first section) try looking for the word "Nets". Once you've extracted your first big word, try going back using the history on the right and looking for "Beach".
Thanks, I'll try doing that.
Very creepy, very cool! I made a LP and the I went back to the game and tried to find more O:)
I will try to summarize what I learned.
*** SPOILER ALERT! *** But not really, because I am pretty confused about the story :D
The brother, Addison, drown. I am afraid of the ocean now. Me and my father liked to go fishing, but it's cold out there. My mum is very sad. There is a friend Anne, she is soft and she is the only one who tells me truth (but my father lies). Father was shouting to my mother and she is sad. The idol.
Great mood, very creepy and sad. Unique gameplay I haven't seen before, and excellent voice acting & audio implementation. I played three times and found a few things... I'm not sure I got to the end, but I got a sense of the story. I hope she gets to go home =(
Brrrrr.
