QUOTES & REVIEWS


"Cleverly wrapping a romance story inside the aesthetic framing of horror and thus subverting the conventions of both, it is a look into the potential of psychological exploration of love stories in the visual novel medium. I hope Davey’s next venture is as bold and soul-baring as An IOU, the visual novel medium welcomes (needs) it." - GRIMOIRE OF HORROR

"AN IOU is the highly anticipated debut game by Davey Cadaver.
Taking cues from beloved visual novels like Doki Doki Literature Club, The House in Fata Morgana, and Higurashi: When they Cry, and weaving it with masterful storytelling, and a cinematic flair, he has created something truly memorable.
A visual artist by profession, he set out to create a graphic novel with acclaimed illustrator, Trevin Wyant. During this ambitious foray, Cadaver decided to go even bigger and the graphic novel also evolved into an interactive experience that is sure to engage audiences worldwide.

Davey believes that story and character are two of the most important elements to an enjoyable game and it's apparent with AN IOU because the two protagonists are not only relatable, they feel like real people that you've known your entire life.
My only complaint is that I wish the game were longer because I'm not ready to say goodbye to Trevor & Mallory!

AN IOU is the culmination of years of work and is obviously filled to the brim with passion, dedication, and creativity. This is one of the best games I have ever played by a solo game developer and Davey Cadaver has definitely left his mark on the visual novel community.
I can't wait to see what the future holds for him & for those of us eager to play his next release." -Scott Elster
