KIRA's games are some of the best weird little retro inspired games itch.io has to offer. I'm always intrigued by the stories, and never really know what's going to happen next. The Undying Beast was over all great, but the default mouse sensitivity on desktop is unplayably low. A controller isn't just recommended, it's actually required to be able to play.

Akuma Kira. What I would say about your works? Marvelous, just awesome works. I love Corpse Ocean, Lost In Vivo and this one. I remade a video just I was missing playing good stuff! And here it goes, your part is the second one.
Una ambientación única que sin lugar a dudas logró hacerme sentir tensión y miedo que no había experimentado en mucho tiempo. Amé cada elemento, agradezco demasiado su trabajo y esfuerzo para este gran juego. <3
Based on the evidence the cover provides, you could be the victim of a car accident in the afterlife, And you could be playing the role of your own judgement in the afterlife, making peace with yourself (questionable, as it's implied you are that beast and daffodils are gathered before encountering the human like figure) as there is not shotgun usage in the second ending, or you annihilate yourself, which on the screen that shows blood indicates a shot from behind you on the screen, indicating what the demon wants, a form of sending yourself to hell, the destruction of your own soul.
The whole experience is like a judgement of choice based on what you do, as many dead things were there, it may even be symbolism of life in a place surrounded by death, indicating you choose life and continue living instead of giving into the "beast" that ironically was coming from outside, and those screens.
You may even be in limbo and not dead at all, and only die when you kill your doppelganger of sorts.
Ending 1 & 2 are similar, but the difference is, the shotgun is only used in one of them. Likely a demonic entity was convincing you to end what could be interpreted as yourself, or another entity. The game is open to interpretation and I won't go into explaining what is understandable by anyone. The graphics were crisp af and I reccomend it definitely
This was a fun little experience, I had no idea what to expect! The sound scape was awesome, I loved the retro style graphics and the feeling. It was like purgatory the game, very tense! Great job.
Im honestly a big fan of all your games. Since playing Lost in Vivo you've become one of my favorite indie devs :) This game was a tad confusing (story wise) but I pieced together my interpretation of it. Love creepy and strange walking sims! I enjoyed the game overall.
One of the most frightening ps1-styled horror games i've ever played. The hollow, deserted atmosphere made me shiver with every step. Good thing there was no jumpscares. You are an artist KİRA!
Great game, the creatures were my favorite part. I don't know if I understood the ending (He or I die if I do or don't collect the flowers) but I don't think a meaning's necessary :) Thanks for the game!
Love the ambience and the creatures that roam the area but don't show themselves completely. Hiding the rest of them in the fog. Great experience and thank you for making this! 1st game.
I loved this one Kira! I really barely could exit after both endings. I just really wished player much more this one. I really appreciated your good taste for atmosphere, like a Purgatory and I loved sound effects, I really enjoyed our character. Awesome game, I will keep my eye in your games. Congratulations.

A nice short experience from Kira, starting to go into their smaller projects and so far this is a good start for me!
Lovely visuals and a nice sense of dread.
Excellent game

Second game in the video; my girlfriend enjoys your works!

Found a bug. On the cliff right side of the whale, you can fall off the map forever.
Great game, the creatures were my favorite part. I don't know if I understood the ending (He or I die if I do or don't collect the flowers) but I don't think a meaning's necessary :) Thanks for the game!
It is tough to pull off a atmospheric horror game with the ps1 style graphics and you guys made it look easy. Definitely a must play.
Nice game! Love the old style ps1 graphics, keep up the good work!
Love the ambience and the creatures that roam the area but don't show themselves completely. Hiding the rest of them in the fog. Great experience and thank you for making this! 1st game.
i played a game like this in armor games but way more longer and a lot of puzzles and items etc and he was in a sort of hell

Undying Beast lying on 3rd part
Very good, gave me the creeps. I also took a look at Corpse Ocean which was also great.
I can't seem to find a difference between the two endings. Is one a gun shot and the other is you being put to rest?
