well. that just happened!

(very beautiful art, but not much actual story)

It's ultimately slightly too vague (and perhaps also short) for my taste, but the art and atmosphere is excellent and absolutely horrifying. There's a certain scene that almost feels like a jump scare, amazing stuff.

Edit: Shortly after complaining about the lack of a digital copy, I looked up Carroll's website and discovered that it's actually sold under https://store.silversprocket.net/products/digital-pre-order-when-i-arrived-at-the-castle-by-emily-carroll . Kinda strange to have it there but not on bigger storefronts but hey, it's there!
