gripping short horror story, January 30, 2014A gripping short horror story in Lovecraftian tradition that is not interactive at all. It's not even barely interactive like the web-CYOA with their pseudo choices, being pretty linear. So here I am, at IFDB reviewing a little nice piece of fiction that offers no choice nor interaction at all. I'm giving it 1 extra star only because the story is interesting, but if you want a better Lovecraft setting with tons of interaction you'd be better off with Anchorhead, The King of Shreds and Patches, Ecdysis and many others...
I'd really want to read it on my Kindle as a straightforward ebook. Because it's no more interactive than if I were to read Huckleberry Finn chapters in no particular order.
This "interactive fiction" fad for smartphones should go. It's making people crazy on their assumptions. I feel like people don't like to read anymore, they are just compulsive touch-screeners and mouse-clickers anxious for the next brief twitter message... so, breaking up a short (nowadays too long) story in clickable chunks is, like, the best thing ever...
