I remember this game really affecting me, particularly because I got a bad ending and didn't realize it has multiple endings.

Highly recommended if you like adventure games.

The story it's based on is, of course, fantastic too.

How did this game feel to others?

Soo they didn’t get sucked in, they were drawn in and couldn’t resist, and rather than becoming monsters the shape of their bodies was deformed. It really hits Junji Ito’s delicate balance of too silly to be taken seriously, while deeply unsettling at the same time.
