First, the achievements are currently busted 6/7/24 so don't go in thinking this is a short achievement sweep because it's not. But it IS a short horror story, with great suspense and just a bit of heart. Because the girl is traveling with her dog, the story is so much more gripping, upsetting, and tense. As an animal lover, you WILL be laser-focused on that dog and what's going to happen. I will say, that I thought I had solved the "mystery" of what was happening during this adventure but I was sorely mistaken, the game took a wild route to close things. I'm glad I got to experience the story, I always play these short ones blind, and glad I did. If you have an hour to spare, give it a try - once it gets going it is gripping!

About This Game
Together with Snezhana and her dog Ayda you will go to the woods for mushroom hunting. An ordinary adventure does not foreshadow adversity, until you decide to step into an uncharted plase… A short but atmospheric visual novel that will give you goosebumps.
What players are saying
Uhhh, a little creepy creepy story. Is it very original? Nope. Is it worth your time? If you love horror you'll certainly like it! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3002877879
Locked Up is a pretty good short, horror visual novel. It depicts anxiety really well and does a great job showing how a pet can help temper that anxiety. I also enjoyed how weird and creepy the story gets. The English translation is done well, with only a few typos. I originally played the game on itch.io, so I'm unaware if there have been any changes for the Steam version.
