The best part of adventure games is dying horribly in as many games as possible, after all.

Lovely game! The graphics have a great, consistent aesthetic. I like how so many feel like they’re closing in on you.

I’m not sure exactly what’s going on on the inside of this game, but it’s quite interesting always having something new come up when I restart.

I’d have added some strawmen but I thought i’d keep it short.

The art is what drew me in, but the prose is just as vivid. The authors manage to pepper the game with knowing humor without puncturing the over-all atmosphere of surreal mystery — no mean feat.

I won’t be beating this one quickly, since I keep getting tempted by all the sign-posted deaths.

Sarcasm, a wild overgeneralization and a dubious presumption about what gives games value? This isn't a backhanded compliment, it's an ass-backwards compliment.

are you sure this is a twine game? it has… replay value.
