A game about give and take.
Entrant, La Petite Mort - English - ECTOCOMP 2024
This was a clever game. I was nervous at first at how much text per page there was, so I clicked random links without reading to see how long the game was. I was surprised to see it end after one choice and two linear links.
But I was wrong.
This is a gauntlet-style game, where you have to make the right choice to proceed, or the wrong choice and fail. There are three choices.
The overall concept is one from old folklore (the kind recently popularized by SCP-4000) [actually, that was 6 years ago. So not that recent]: faery creatures must be spoken to very carefully to avoid shenanigans.
In this case, you have made a deal with a supernatural being for money. And to receive it, you have to be exceptionally careful in what you say; the exact kind of care you need to take is revealed as you play.
Overall, this was lots of fun, with a cool ending transition.
