A fantasy/horror game with deep worldbuilding and impressive UI, October 3, 2019This author has become well known for Twine UI work. with many people interested in learning how to make games look the way, for instance, Devotionalia did.
This game has that same rich UI. Buttons instead of hyperlinks, character portraits, rich backdrops, multiple save files in a button in a collapsible menu.
Story-wise, this is heavy stuff, epic fantasy mixed with horror. You are a lone human burying their mother, living on an island filled with huge, sentient insects. You have been offered a controversial position on the island in the religious hierarchy, and life is complicated.
Most choices are about your attitude and response to others (agreeing, disagreeing, deflecting). Others have agency affecting the story. The real replayability factor is in the characters, not all of which you can talk to in one go through.
It's polished, descriptive, interactive, creepiness-inducing, and I would replay, so I'm giving it 5 stars!
