Perhaps the most evocative piece I've played to date, July 14, 2023I struggled with how to rate this game. It is note perfect in so many aspects, from the prose, to the sound, to the pictures, to the interactive elements, and yes, to even the timed text, which I usually hate. My biggest complaint was that (Spoiler - click to show)the plot didn't have enough payoff. But then I decided that wasn't the goal of this piece, that it was mostly about mood and feel, and it absolutely nailed those aspects. So 4-stars instead of three. Bravo!

Wonderfully Creepy, December 30, 2022by Ann Hugo (Canada) I haven't been really reading games' descriptions before trying them out, so I ended up going into this game without knowing it was horror. Fortunately, I'm rather fond of creepy games (as can be seen in the fact that Bogeyman by Elizabeth Smyth is my favourite IF game). I definitely found this game to be effective in how frightening it was, playing it at midnight making it even more so. I even got clammy hands. Was this review helpful to you?

Atmospheric multimedia fiction, March 28, 2021In this Twine short story, a great sense of atmosphere and suspense is created, not just by the use of images and sound, excellent as those are, but by thoughtful use of links: links that change text when you click on them, links that trigger a time delay, and changes of layout. I would have liked the plot to have developed more - it felt like reading the first half of a story. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Creepy or not, here I come, you can't hide. , December 7, 2020by DoctorFury (Ohio) As experimental interactive fiction written in Twine, this is a work of genius across several elements: the ambient music and sounds, the imagery, and the pace of the authorship are extremely good. It's NOT a game, and that's ok, but it is also incomplete, in my opinion, as a story. There are great horror elements here, and the exposition to climax is good. If I nitpick, it's the inclusion of "creepy Latin," which is a bit lazy: (Spoiler - click to show) episcopi vagantes? Why? A very contentious and troublesome but decided unmysterious piece of Catholic history that ultimately has nothing to do with the climax. Also, including the Klan reference and then a further white hood would be scarier if I understood why on earth the Klan was present in this story.. Instead of eerie alt-language play that does not circle back to the plot in any way, we could have had more story. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

A spooky piece of dynamic fiction, October 21, 2020by Enrique Henestroza Anguiano (California) Babyface uses interaction and multimedia effects to craft a bone-chilling horror story about someone returning to their hometown to investigate family secrets.

Landmark Twine horror, October 17, 2020by deathbytroggles (Minneapolis, MN) There are many types of games that can be made with Twine, but seemingly the most common and to this reviewer's opinion the most frustrating is the game on rails that pretends it's not on rails. The last thing I want to do after spending an hour playing a game is to replay it with all the different choices and discover that other than some flavor text, nothing has changed.
