Mad and Frantic, November 11, 2016

Related reviews: ECTOCOMP 2016

This game felt like a 1960s Twilight Zone episode: the wild-eyed protagonist, the tense desperation, the terse descriptions, and the twist at the end. Very short, but that is because of the nature of the competition for which it was created. It accomplishes exactly what it seems to try to do. I was on the edge of my seat.
