keep raking and maybe you'll find something hidden beneath the leaves 

A very interesting game demo, and a format that's quite rare to see. Huge thanks to the developer! 

I uploaded a fan-made video on Bilibili that expands the original game's storyline. The video is in Chinese, but the narration is in English.

If you're interested, I'd really appreciate it if you could check it out and leave a like. Thank you!

I loved your game! I was slow close to getting all 13 items

Great game

saw Manlybadasshero play the game, it is a very fun and strangely relaxing experience... until it isn't lmao.

also, light advertisement (sorry) if you are wanting to hire a cheap D-tier radio voice actor then try me. I don't know the going rate and I'm cheap but low in the skill department, normal male voice lol.

I loved this! Very relaxing...until it wasn't... lol

super entertaining game and good storytelling!! only problem tho was the tools since the gloves worked much better and faster in my opinion and i ended up using them more than intended

Awesome game love the cozy spooky fwwl

cool concept. unfortunately the game was not working correctly on my laptop - the right button stopped responding. i couldn`t exit fullscreen game correctly and after i did it finally via switching off the laptop (or something like it) - my buttons on touchpad stopped working entirely :) 

so im thinking now - i need to launch game and exit it correctly, maybe my issue will resolve. but how to do it? when in game, Esc does not work. or maybe there is another fix? thanks!

NOT ENTIRELY SURE ABOUT HOW I GOT HERE BUT I'M PRETTY SURE THAT MY HEAD AREA IS MISSING FROM THE REST OF MY BODY AREA AND THERE'S SPIDERS EVERYWHERE!! Youtube Link -

Very interesting horror game. 

i enjoyyed this

Awesome game!! 

very good

I liked how the game changed so much as I kept playing. It went from relaxing to strange and creepy but raking the leaves still felt nice and relaxing.

I wanted to play more, but my screen went bright red for an extended period of time. I am unsure if this is an intended part of the horror or a bug, it happened beginning on day 2, but it meant I could no longer continue because the eyestrain was too great. I won't rate this game now as I am unsure if this is a bug or intended, but regardless, it means players with vision problems cannot complete the game ):

Edit: After leaving this comment, I found the red screen was gone. It happened a few more times, but by clicking off the page it went away. I am now leaning towards this being a Itch.io issue and not the game. For my fellow gamers with vision issues, try downloading it to avoid this.

this happens sometimes when u accidentally highlight the page on itch, it highlights the html game too

Really cool game! calming but also got it's creeps.

Great little game, loved it!

somehow its kinda satisfying to pick up all the leaves lol

(+1)

A fun short horror game, really enjoyed the concept and the piecing together of the story.  
(+6)

1/5 didn't let me finish picking up all the leaves.

(+1)

Very cool game!  Simple, a little wonky with the physics, but overall I think pretty good!

(+1)

Unique! Really well done with the slow shifts and forcing the player to slowly uncover the plot and the horror

(+1)

This was probably the most satisfying horror game I've ever played. I really loved it!! The aesthetics AND ESPECIALLY THE LEAF PHYSICS are sooo well made!!! Would love to see a peaceful mode or an additional relaxing mode getting added in future updates, cause this was sooo much funn to playy!! Keep it up!! 🔥🔥🔥

(+1)

A calming, almost serene game that pretty quickly gets warped. The physics seem a bit wonky but that's not that big of a deal, loved the ending.

Show post...

Hello Gummy Grenade Games!

Just wanted to say that I really loved your game!

It was a lot of fun uncovering all the hidden items, (your art design was beautiful!!) Plus, even though this is technically a horror game, it was still strangely satisfying to play! Amazing Job!

I made a Letsplay if you'd like to check it out! And if you'd ever like a FREE voiceactor please reach out! I'd love to help with a future project!

Oh no hermano

This was the coziest horror game I have ever played! Awesome job!

(+1)

Honestly I believe this is one of the most unique horror games I have ever played I really loved the atmosphere and the slow build up to the actual horror great job on this!

(+2)

Generally a pretty enjoyable experience. I loved the focus on atmosphere.

My only critique is that the redshift-like effect toward the end made the screen very visually busy and hard to really see what was happening. That could probably be toned down a little bit.

(+1)

I think the most unsettling part is when your gear changes omg especially the gloves, great short horror game!
(+2)

I absolutely love this game, I 100%-ed all the levels, I desperately need an endless mode for the first stage oh my god please

Also the music is very relaxin

[This was the second game I played in this video] I thought the simplicity of this along with the secret lore, blend very well together!
(+3)

I should have been nicer to the snail. I kept throwing him in the bin :(

(+1)

my snail :(

it was quite the unusual experience 

(+1)

It was so good! The music and graphics are very cool, I love the atmosphere of the game!! At the beginning, it was cute, almost relaxing, and at the end, I totally got chills ><

(+1)
