Have you ever had afraid of darkness?

The game tells about the journey of a minion that was sent for his master to search and kill a girl that lives in the middle of forest.

The narrative happens inside mind of the main character, questioning to himself about moral decisions that leads the player to two different ends.

I played it recently. What I don't understand is why these kind of games have like framerates between 15 and 30 fps, at least feels like it. I don't think it's a performance issue, the fps seems hardcoded. Why would you hardcode 15 fps??
The animations are a little stiff but the general platforming and mechanincs is alright.
Don't like that the music gets cut off every time a story screen pops up, which is after every screen you beaten.

Mechanics are ok and was promising to be a nice little platformer. It was very short and more of a "message" game. I killed the girl through the first run and to be honest, could not be bothered to go through again to see what happens if I hug her. The thought of going through it again felt like work more then anything to me.
