Dreamlike Texture game about a horrifying nautical situation, November 22, 2023This is a Texture game, a system that uses a drag and drop of verbs to pull over nouns. The text was small on the buttons, which is a bug I’ve seen before that’s due to the system, not the author, I think.
I really liked this game. I’m into weird short horror/terror and the author has an excellent command of character and setting and is able to effectively spin a tale that drew me in.
The main commands are APPROACH, REFLECT, and TAKE, and I loved how each of these took on different meaning throughout the game. I also felt like I had real agency; there was an interesting object early on I intended to look at but lost the chance as I progressed; yet there were still interesting things to do. It made me feel like the game was replayable.
I found one ending (The Captain, I guess you could call it). It seems like there are more, but I felt satisfied with my playthrough.
I would definitely read more by this author, good work. It suits my particular reading tastes, and I can’t guarantee that others would have the same experience.
