I had seen this game advertised on EEK3 and then totally forgot it had come out. Was so excited to find out it was released. What an absolute delight of a game. I wish it could go on forever.

What a great update! The story got better, the environments, your white chalk drawings, the models all are just "chef's kiss". I wish I could model and paint that good!

Wasn't there a plan to make this setting/game into a full game to be on Steam? Or was that abandoned?

I thoroughly enjoyed the game. The art style and gameplay were smooth and I really liked the character designs. It was refreshing to see the art style, character designs and environments beyond the PS1 styles prominent in the horror genre.  My only critique would be more exposition within the game, and the camera remaining on the character after finding the doll parts. I found the character bios after playing, answering some of my suspicions, otherwise solid game, and I hope to see more of your work in the future.

I loved this game so much  I played it twice in a row, and I'll play it again once the memory of it has become dampened juuust enough for me to be taken with the gothic glory all over again.

Love this gothic art style soooo much!

It was very good until the cats. Hard no for me amd many others. Disappointed and makes me really wonder. No future support from this person amd will rate everywhere possible. 

Wow! This was a very cool experience, really enjoyed the story

Lorraine is a  gothic rock or penny dreadful turned into videogame form. A game I've been looking for and never knew it actually existed. I loved it so much that the prospect of it ending so shortly made me not want to finish it. Gorgeously looking, if you ever wondered what would be like to play on Edgar Allan Poe or Mary Shelley novel, this is the game for you.

It also runs perfectly on Steam Deck as you can see by pressing the link below:

Will there be Simplified Chinese in the future？

controller support?

I describe it as raw and real

I'm tearing up like I'm on Dr. Phil

fantastic game and love the style. any chance of a sending a wallpaper of Lorraine? lol

Astounding experience! I wish more games used such a setting.

Such a beautifully macabre experience. The way the story unfolds from the beginning all the way to the very end is exceptional. Even the smallest details, like the framed pictures in the house, and how the state of everything evolved over time to coincide with the story... The music... And the moody camera angles and transitions... Very well done. My only complaint is that it was way too short!

I adore this! Lorraine is now one of my favourite games, everything about it is delightful. Love the gothic design, especially on Lorraine herself, and the sound design is absolutely chilling (especially during that cat scene). Gamplay is simple but works for the story being told, and that ending was definitely unexpected. Fantastic experience, I'd love to play more games in this style. 

you had me at "Grotesque"!

Loved this game! And I adore Lorraine because I just think she's beautiful haha.  I've already recommended it to several of my friends this week. I played it for my YT and hope people support you in buying a copy

I went into this completely blind, and it didn't disappoint me. I didn't even read the itch page because my friend recommended the game to me, so the ending caught me off-guard. Really looking forward to your next projects.

I am someone who can not play horror games myself as I am in fact a big baby. But I watched manlybadasshero play the game and I have to say the aestheitics of it are wonderful. Your ability to perfect recreate the old style of pre rendered cutscene but also somehow update it and make it feel fresh it honestly impressive. 

I appreciate the lack of jumpscares and the horror more so coming from the unknown of the story and what's real. The cat cutscene I found the most disturbing purely because of the sound design and nothing else, but it didn't feel gross like some other games would do with something like that.

Any plans on bringing this bad boy over to Steam? Would be fun to have it on there in all honesty.

Was really impressed by the game, particularly with the presentation. You really captured the essential elements of the gothic horror genre and it was refreshing to see an indie horror game that doesn't rely on huge amounts of notes, documents and long expository dialogue to tell a story. I was surprised that even the Itch.io page is wonderfully presented and makes an excellent first impression!

My only complaint is that Lorraine makes an off-handed comment that supports the myth that corsets were somehow dangerous or harmful to women. This myth is the bane of fashion historians and there's a lot of information online debunking that particular myth so I won't go into great detail here, but Karolina Zebrowska, Bernadette Banner and Abby Cox all have excellent videos on the topic.

Didn't finish the game on my first playthrough so made a second part to show the ending. Enjoy!

Wirklich sehr atmosphärisches Reverse Horror Game. Es ist zwar leider sehr kurz, aber ich mag die Ästhetik, den Vibe, die Geschichte, und allgemein die Ausführung dieses Spiels. Ich könnte mir locker 5-6h Content in diesem Setting vorstellen, mit den ein oder anderen Twists. Hier steckt finde ich sehr viel Potenzial, was aber etwas zu kurz kam. Allerdings merkt man wirklich die Mühe die hier drin steckt und das weiß ich sehr zu schätzen.

Allein der Wechsel zwischen High-Res "Cinematics" und dem PSX-Artstyle finde ich großartig, denn beides für sich funktioniert super.

Dito: 4.3/5

My girlfriend enjoyed your game-- the aesthetics especially. :)

This bit size horror game is awesome! I loved the esthetics and the goth horror theme, I would live to see more short horror games like this! Definitely grab this game.

Check out my gameplay of this game on YouTube and let me know what you think! Great story!

Saw the first few minutes of a playthrough, which covered the funeral. I stopped there to see for myself how the story ends. At first I expected something of a Black Widow/Vampire storyline but was pleasantly surprised it wasn't. Still, this game felt like a fragment of a bigger story. A lot of potential, I like it. Especially the victorian era vibe.

However, poor cats.

Absolutely loved this game, and making content for it. I hope this game gets all the attention it deserves - and hopefully a sequel! Hats off to you, developer.

theres a steam version? mb later?

This game is awesome! I love the asthetic vibe and horror that the game has going to it and it actually does the PS1 style graphics actually really well! I can't wait to play more!

Already watched two playthroughs of the game but went ahead and purchased it for myself because I immediately fell in love with the graphical style and ambience of the game. I'm really looking forward to more from this dev!

Edit: just played through it myself and I'm curious, what was the dried flower found under the bed for?? Is there a secret hidden somewhere involving this flower?

Looking forward to seeing what you create next!

As someone who loves gothic literature and anything related to horror, I loved this game very much! It is fairly short, maybe an hour of gameplay at most. There are no chase scenes or combat. So, if you are someone like me who prefers dark stories and psychological horror instead of jumpscares, I would recommend this game for you! The aesthetics of this game are very beautiful and nostalgic, so exploring the environment is a great experience. 

Overall I would compare it to reading one of Edgar Allen Poe's short stories! I look forward to playing more games from this dev in the future <3

This game delivers the dark and cold atmosphere of a gothic romance tale, like a really disturbing Tim Burton film. The visuals are stunning and the story is very well told. Though the ending felt a little rushed, I feel  more than satisfied with the overall experience. Well done, dev!

Absolutely love the vibe of this game. The cutscenes' higher poly count models really shine while the lower more crunchy ones used for gameplay look straight up perfect. Such a beautiful juxtaposition, really hoping you end up making more games down the line. :0

great story and great visual in game ..vibe mix ps2. bellissimo grazie! ma siete italiani ?

I thought your game was great!!!  concept behind it was cool!  Wish it was a bit longer!! great job!

It was interesting, but I feel like the resources were somewhat underused. I expected more "fetch-questing" based off of the graveyard intro, and I was invested in the story, so I feel like it ended quite suddenly.

Also, the statue in the center of the cat area has no collision, and the mirror collider clips through to the bedroom.
