This is actually a hilarious short horror game. Making use of little text and keeping it to the point, solving the growth.

A true visual novel at its finest. Simply lean back, no need for thinking, just “enjoying” and reading! The game features good audio, a lot of not too annoying animations, and creepy surreal images. One could really feel the tag of ghosts coming to life in this game. Story-wise it’s interesting and has an amazing hook, I am sad there weren’t any other endings to explore than one.
The English usage in this game is not very good, many punctuations, sentence structure, and grammar mistakes were made. Honestly, this does kill the vibe a little. The audio is perfectly timed and the text animations are adding towards the situations the protagonist finds themself in. The art within the game is there, it looks neat. I have played a few games since this game has high replayability. The story itself is a little incoherent, but it’s still enjoyable!
After playing for some time, dying a lot, and even solving all puzzles, I can firmly say that this was beyond my expectations. The puzzles, both visual and audible were scary, fun, and interesting. The game actually heavily relies on its audio and it certainly helps to actually listen to it! It’s immersive and sucks you in, to the point you actually feel a pity for the protagonist.
The short and catchy paragraphs do aid the player in having fun and the playtime is insanely short. It’s still worth your time, since this game is a one of a kind, grow, sim, rabbit experimenter. Since you know, animal tests should be illegal, so feel free to test online rabbits!
The story is rich in neatly written paragraphs, and even well-timed funny sarcastic/cynical jokes from time to time. Replayability and lore are both beyond normal interactive fiction levels. The music truly adds to the experience. Sadly the game is still in development, so hopefully, it will one day be finished.
The dialogue is unsettling and the build-up is timed neatly. The chat itself is comparable to what a true chat group looks like, giving realism to the game. This game is absolutely worth your time! Just don’t complain to me if you feel slightly paranoid afterward.
Summary: The domovoi is a magnificent story, which sucks you in, lets you create the story, and leaves you lonely afterward. The usage of local terms and things do confuse me from time to time.
The wordplay, poetic I’d say, and the music combined with the visuals gives me eerie vibes, something Litrouke used in his other games too. I was happily surprised by this story and enjoyed it a lot. It certainly is worth your time, even if it is to train your Latin.
This game has an amazing narrative and storyline, it’s coherent with all branches and seems to dig deeply into what one expects of a gruesome beast or a lonely human. With many possible endings and possible rewinds, I think this game is surely worth one’s time.
