Amazing stuff. I just stumbled on this completely randomly via weird f-ing games blog. Really impressed with the viscerality of the poetry. Thank you for sharing your art with the world.
Thank you for your kind words! I didn't expect to see any more interaction on this so long after making it! I made this project back in high school but have been doing mostly non-game writing/poetry since, the positive feedback always makes me feel like doing another game (as much work as they are). :)
This game was SO fun to try and figure out, I literally lost track of time playing it! Loved the aesthetic, loved the variety of puzzles. Over all, a super cool, unique take on text-based horror/puzzle games!
Also, since you asked on the end screen for feedback on stuff like typos, I did notice a couple (none that stopped me from completing the game obviously!) On the Lachryphagy page, "annoited" should be "anointed", and under the Something section, "its" should be "it's". On the Conception page, "consiousness" should be "consciousness", and "puss" should be "pus" (unless you wanted to talk about cats, then nvm). Finally, on the Mantle page, "usupers" should be "usurpers".
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'll go in and fix those mistakes you found, along with some other stuff people have brought to my attention. Thanks for the help.

sorry for the visual glitches that happen with some of the text art, I'm not completely sure what causes them, but am working to make them go away.
