About the Story
You wake up on the couch in your garage after a wild Halloween party. But you can't remember why you didn't go to sleep with your wife, in your own bed. In fact, you can't remember anything after a certain point last night. But either way, it's time to go to work -- even if you can't seem to shake the voice inside your head...
The Idle Demon is a parser-based, interactive fiction horror game written in under 4 hours, with three possible endings.
Content warning: themes of violence, death and kidnapping.

This game is by a recent new IFComp entrant, and has an impressive amount of objects for a speed-IF, and even includes two endings (one of which I decompiled to find).
You are naked and alone in your garage, and you need to figure out what exactly happened between you and your family the night before. First step: finding clothes!
The house you explore has a lot of items implemented, like alcohol and glasses, a rotary telephone, a couple of keys. There is also a series of mysterious background messages prompting you forward.
I think this was a good topic choice for a Speed IF and that it was executed well.
