A lonely, cursed young man finds his attempts to engage in the world disrupted by a mysterious predator and a ghostly amputee.This is a project from a couple years back. I seriously wish I could have gotten voice acting because I had quite a bit of dialogue but ended up going the silent route. The storytelling isn't very strong and the artwork is lacking, but I hope someone enjoys it.

there are some satie pieces i would have loved to use in this! or anything i make. Thanks for the feedback.

I enjoyed this and thank you for making and sharing it.

The story was very interesting and it kept my attention.

Good animation and a good choice of background music.

Until I read the description I didn't really follow... it was morbid and eerie, but I wondered if the different 'chapters' were related or separate, if they told tales from the same persons life, or different ones... if it was about a meeting or a parting, about the trauma caused by the dog, a bad dream, something else... the description explains a lot, yet after imagining so many other things I feel like a 'mysterious predator and lonely witch' feels a too fictional route. Like it could have had more depth. Thought I was onto something big, but in the end it was more based on the visuals than I expected...

Voice acting might have been good indeed, to push the story, though on the other hand I feel the silent way really builds the mood. The atmosphere here is pretty special. Brooding. Gloomy. Lonely. Voices might break that impression... and I did like the visuals! Nicely done overall, all that's really missing is the red thread, for better or not.

sadtape responds:

I'm really happy read this. The description I gave is more simplistic and literal than I'd like, but I thought I might give at least a few details just to get people going on the plot if needed. There were all sorts of themes of trauma, loneliness, and guilt I wanted to touch on, though I'm still learning as a storyteller. I really appreciate your feedback.
