Short and sparse twine game where you play as a penned zombie, November 21, 2021
by Fie

The link is broken, but can be found at the creator's itch.io.

The writing is sparse and describes only the essentials. As a zombie, you're characterized by hulk speech like in Lost Pig but you don't ever lose control or act truly monstrous. It rather seems like you're just another survivor. (Spoiler - click to show)And with the amount of memories and self awareness Janet has, seems like letting her out of the pen wouldn't be such a bad idea. She knows how to save food, how to use it for traps, can choose between attacking people or not... You spend a good amount of time observing people with more interesting choices in this game.

A fairly enjoyable 15-30 minutes. I played it a few times but the endings don't seem to have any major differences.

Disturbing game about being the curse of the plagues of Egypt, November 19, 2021
by Fie

A grotesque and morbid short story where you find ways to murder the first sons. I did not find it to be an experience that I would find any enjoyment out of on its own, but it comes with design commentary (>COM) and religious subtext that I found interesting which is what led me to keep playing. This is not a fun game to play.

The strong points were the richness of the victims' lives. You have people trying to protect their houses by painting them with pitch, trying to desperately copy rituals and decide to not go outside, people trying to catch the cloud with a net, lots of slaves that are still firstborn children and definitely not getting freed. The weak points were the more overstated ones. I think the chilling look into the morality of the Bible had me come off feeling the right amount of unpleasant, but the adherence to the lesser known exact writing of the Bible such as the scene about how the pharaoh breaks down about how Yahweh mind controlled him was trying too hard to find something to point at and say this is evil. It's already pretty evil, no need to gild the lily then paint it with lamb's blood.
