This ended up being a really cool, concise occult horror story. Not sure how it doesn't have more attention. The narrator is interesting and they weaved them into the story well. Things aren't laid out and explained, but there's enough to go off of and I like the bit of mystery.
The art is great, and the characters are all flawed in a good way, though a bit on the cliché side. The witch is an interesting foil, and the ending was pretty perfect (if a tad predictable).
I'm always pretty meh on psych hospital scenes because they're never done well or accurately, but they managed to explain away the inaccuracies in this.
