Gonna give this game a shot, sounds like it's up my alley in terms of aesthetics.

A chilling little horror story that masterfully combines Bitsy and Twine. It is very verbose--whether you think that's a good thing or a bad thing will depend on you--with rich and complex lore. Its elegant writing and atmosphere feel unique.

cannot stop thinking about this game. love it so dearly. such incredible writing

this is a deeply fascinating game. unfortunately i have broken the universe

This is an extremely fascinating work. Just reading the book felt very close to the experience of actually reading some book about forbidden magic from some impossible, existentially doomed world. To the point that I was surprised and intrigued once events started to unfold.

There exists a small chance that I may have made a slight mistake and doomed humanity. I will keep you posted.

Brilliant, and so creepy.

Very good and cool, I like it a lot. Sending to friends to help them stay up at night.

I am trying to put my jaw back into place after it dropped on the floor and failing

I liked the setting but I do wish there were more chances to move around. Maybe I just missed that part. I also have so many questions about what exactly happened and if the same thing will happen to all the other worlds.

well, I'm cursed now. thanks a lot

This is illegally good. You have definitely broken some laws to make this, and when I work out what those are I will be contacting the appropriate authorities. Good day.
