A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

An alien has infiltrated a remote Italian village, drawn by a terrifying rumor: the secret recipe for a weapon of unimaginable destruction. Disguised as an ordinary visitor, your mission is to find this recipe before it falls into the wrong hands... or before the villagers discover your true identity.

Your investigation leads you to the village's enigmatic old witches, rumored to hold the key to the weapon's creation. They will task you with a dangerous quest to collect sacred ingredients, testing your ability to blend in and survive their strange rituals.

But the villagers are wary of outsiders, and your unusual inquiries have alerted Pulcinella, the legendary protector of the village. He sees you as a dangerous intruder and will stop at nothing to eliminate the threat you represent. In this horror game, you'll be constantly looking over your shoulder as Pulcinella hunts you through the village's winding streets and hidden pathways.

Absolutely unique take on the "get-the-items" sub-genre of short horror games, loved the Italian aesthetic and the "antagonist", while challenging was also goofy enough to make the game both intense and funny. Unsurprisingly, I made pasta after playing this. Keep up the good work! Cheers!

Thank you for playing our game and making a video!

The missing stamina bar is an intended feature, it would have been better with a few sounds to hint at the stamina status. Unfortunately, we did not have time to implement that. Also, nice job finding out that you collect all objects by following the walls!

I'm sorry that the game did not run smoothly on your machine. If you have any additional feedback you want to share, I'd love to hear it!
