I loves this! I’m a big fan of the horror adventure style of gameplay, and Bitterroot does a great job of creating atmosphere in a GameBoy environment, which isn’t so easy to do. More creepy than dangerous, Bitterroot tells an interesting, scary story through finding newspaper clippings and its bizarre imagery. It’s soundtrack is simple yet effective. The only trouble I had was that there were times I had trouble navigating the environment during the 3D- like spaces. At times I wasn’t sure if I was going in or out, up or down. But that’s more me than the game. I’d recommend all horror fans to give this one a go.
I cant figure out how to equip the lighter I tried pressing z and the other controls. Maybe its a bug or the control is not listed but if you know please tell me how to equip the lighter.
Great plot. Although short, the ambience of the game and the strange residents of the mansion, as well as the ending, are the highlights of the game, for me. Congratulations!
Some really cool work here. One thing I am finding is that on original GB hardware the color you’ve reserved for lightning as well as the notion of there being a door across from you doesn’t seem to be showing up. Is this release only supposed to be for the GBC? Enjoying it, nonetheless
yes, it’s unfortunately a gbc game. a number of the effects like the lightning and the light from the door don’t work on the palette limitations of the original DMG
WOW,what a fantastic surprise! Thank you for making this excellent little horror game. I played it the minute I found it and I really enjoyed myself. Took me 16 minutes to finish the game. Could've done it sooner for a second trial. The music gives me the creeps and being alone in a haunted house really raises my heart beat. Nice work. Think there's only one ending where the woman found the crashed car, right? BTW, I bought the deluxe version of Neighbor, but I haven't really played it. Now I think I can give it a try. Hope to see more horror games from you.

There is no equipping in the game. The menu is more of a showcase of the collectible elements in the game. Sorry if there was any confusion
Nvm I thought you need to equip it in the stairs so ignore this
Really impressive! This game's a little, yet shiny, jewel!

No need to say unfortunately! Its still a fun play on DMG and great graphics work - I especially liked the bathroom area and the mechanical room
Cool game! I am going to download it.

thank you for checking it out! it’s a quicker game than Neighbor because I really wanted focus on the mood and learning some new tricks.
Really appreciate you getting the deluxe neighbor, your support helps a lot and it really motivates me to keep going!
NP:).Nicely done. Waiting for the release of deluxe edition.
hopefully within a week. Want to make sure the booklet and extras are polished :)
