How it feels

a tense, text-based choose-your-own-adventure where low courage and sanity shape a haunting descent into forgotten horror

What players say

Players describe a short, replayable choose-your-own-adventure with comic-style art and jigsaw puzzles. Opinions split on the writing: some praise the atmosphere and mystery, others find the pacing slow and dialogue awkward. The soundtrack is a weak point.
