Some legacies carry more weight than blood ties.

After your grandfather's death, you inherit an isolated and decaying residence, shrouded in silence. What should be a routine inventory turns into a surveillance nightmare when you realize your every move... is being watched.

Someone — or something — is watching you. Someone knows your habits, your clothes, and your secrets.

(1 edit)

love this sm he's adorable! i can really see all the effort that you've put in and im so excited to see more

(+1)

I adore him already!! Wdym he cooks and cleans (I might be unwell) but I'm more curious abt who we called. Excited for more!!

Te amo.

ash needs to help us cs i feel so mad from that mould dude >-< ima bout to call my uber if somebody dont save my girllll (this was like watching a movie fr)

Mi primer intento al jugarlo y saque bad ending. Debo admitir que el personaje es lo suficientemente aterrador como para haberme causado miedo GENUINO JLASKDJAL, digo, viéndolo desde una perspectiva más realista cualquiera estaría cagada de miedo si un extraño te acosara.
en fin, bn juego :D

I love this game but i can't stop thinking about how nice the house is!! too bad there's a homeless mold creature :)

POSSIBLE SPOILERS READ WITH CAUTION !!!! 

I really really loved the game!!! he might be a homeless mold cutie that probably is making me sick.. but i can’t but help but wanna be sweet to him!! also art in this is amazing love the 2nd day because you get multiple special art scenes of him (from the choices i made) Ofc i got the “by your side” ending and i loved it!! I WOULD LOVE TO PLAY MORE AKA IF THE DEV RELEASES DAY THREE FOUR OR WHATEVER I WILL 100% BEING PLAYING IT !! also.. lowkey don’t know who asher is 0-0    -lottie

oh my god how tf did you manage to make a homeless rat boy look hot ;-; JOKES ASIDE, THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. i can feel, like,certain theeemes of like abandonment or something, but i don't have a good grasp of that yet, which is obviously not a flaw in the game. the music, ARTT, THE ART, and everything is really really good <3.i love how, unlike most games like this, you aren't completely gone off the face of the earth. you still know people, your life is more complex than just a single individual (or, entity,in this case), and i find it really nice that we get to have that! anyway, i <3 mould. never thought i'd be saying those partciular 3 words, but, as a character, yeah, he seems more complex than just "a yandere". also, did i mention he's hot?

edit: maybe i've completely lost the premise, forgive me, but there's a gamp between me playing and me commenting this. either way, i won't be reading into this bc idk shit <3

Random, but I remember when I first played the game, it was free for website since I played it before on the website. I don't know what happened because I can't play it anymore because it's not available for website. :( -Commented on June 30th, 2026.

The new update is so good!

(+2)

is the windows version also for 8, or is it only 10/11? cuz i dont have windows 10 and i miss when u could play this game in browser:(((

(+5)

I have so many thoughts. Metaphor? Psychosis caused by black mold? Literal mold demon? With the mind of something formed 5 years ago, at that. If he is semi-real...

The notes upstairs: either he learns fast... or he accesses people's memories through invading their body, maybe? I mean, either Mould wrote that or he possessed your grandfather to do it. Worse, the first words when starting the game: "I know everything about you". 

He also seems nameless, but oh so happy to be named. Demon behavior altogether, I tell you all. Very evil spirit core. I hope for Mould that he's not doomed to kill the protagonist. Even when he tries to be sweet, the fruit is poison, his touch brands your skin, you lose your sense of self. It's hardly love, but he's one sad puppy. 

DIOOOOOSSSS, SUPER RECOMIENDO ES TAN HERMOSO ESTO 😭, NECESITO MAAAAAS DIOS LO AMO

(+2)

Day 2 felt a lot more unsettling and it kind of feels like Mould is a ticking time bomb. Love day 2 since it shed more light on Mould's personality.
