I entered this thinking that there is no way a top down rpg maker game could be scary. Boy was I wrong, I am not sure how you managed it but the game was atmospheric, creepy and most importantly, got to scare me. I wish there was more for me to understand the story a little bit.
Hey there! I honestly though that this was a lovely little game about blathers! I thought that the atmosphere was able to be built and honestly, the use of the music was able to unnerve me through out. The ending honestly was one of the things I liked about it. Also, I'd just like to ask, is your name inspired by well, a certain tuxedo'd Cat? :> Cheers!
Really cool look at this concept. As a new fan of Animal Crossing, I saw so much potential for a horror game around this theme and you did it! Great job! I hope you have some time in the future to check out my gameplay :)
came across your game in the middle of my animal crossing grind! it was great to have a familiar break with this game, thought the rolly polly was a wharf roach for the longest time lmao. i wanted to share my recording and say thanks!
It's a really good idea, using Blather's fear as a story. I feel like some of the scares could be further expanded but it's still a pretty solid game based off Animal Crossing.
This was so much fun as someone who loves ACNH. And a bit of a backstory as to why Blathers hates bugs so much was neat. Really enjoyed the ambience and the puzzles, even if I did take a while to find the room with the watering can lol.
Had a ton of fun with this game, got a little lost at one point finding the room with the water can. Great flow and loved that you used the animal crossing world for your fan game. Would love to see more, will keep up with your project!
Pros and cons are down below) Check out my vid, pls:
Advantages:
1. It's so funny that you used Animal Crossing character and implemented their phrases. Nice job at simulating AC's environment.
2. I like how you added light jumpscares in the game. I got really scared by them because I didn't expect them.
3. I also loved your mini puzzles. They were not hard to solve but very nice that they were there. Without them the game would seem empty. Though they were a bit strange.
Disadvantages:
1. I don't know whether that was only my problem but the ending didn't work for me. Blathers became reeeallyyy slooow, so I couldn't run. Maybe that's intended, maybe it's a bug. Anyway, it spoiled the impression a lot for me.
2. The world seems strangely empty - half of the cages are empty, few things to interact to.
3. Found a bug where you can open bugs menu before dying so the menu gets stuck and just hangs there.
Overall:
I enjoyed the game. I think it could have been a bit more polished but still, I see how much effort you put into it. The painting of Blathers, for instance, is impressive. I am waiting for your next projects)

That's from Animal Crossing: New Horizon, right?
Yep.

Never thought in a million years that I would play the horror version of Animal Crossing 😂 Nice one! Had a good time playing this 👍

Here's a gameplay video with non-commentary
loved this game!!! thank you for creating this masterpiece!
I hope you make game with the label sisters next.
A really clever concept with simple yet highly effective scares! It literally got my heart pumping. Bravo ^^
Excellent bite-sized unsettling environment. The pixel art is quite pristine, well crafted and put together neatly.
ManlyBadassHero made a let’s play ^^
Animal Crossing horror game? Awesome!
Also amazing sprite work ^^
I loved it! Poor owl friend needs a raise.
Hoo boy. Captures the fear of lonely nights playing AC and being charged by a *redacted*. 10/10.
