A dead man's hug

I think the strangest thing about this game is that I was able to complete it at all, considering it is very linear and I'm not sure that a few actions are what we'd call "classicly properly prompted", especially in a dialog section and in the last scene. I kept expecting to stumble against implementation and hit a dead end, thinking "I'll try this, but I'm not sure it'll do anything, and if it doesn't I won't really know how to proceed". And hey, it did stuff, and I did manage to keep going, all the way to the end (it's a short game).

It's a strange sort of bizarre horror-type thing, that feels like a feverish nightmare the author might had and then transcribed into IF. It plays like that, too. There's even a quite unbelievable pun to keep you entertained.

Gameplay-wise, you'd do best to simply follow the flow. Apart from that, it will depend on whether this surreal lunacy strikes your fancy. Personally, I liked it. It was sufficiently brief, and economical in its prose, that it didn't grate; and even within its bizarre stream of consciousness thing, it had a sort of congruity. Again, the sort of cohesiveness you expect a dream to have.

Pretty good, but possibly not for everyone. If you enjoyed "Deadline Enchanter", or "198Brew", I recommend giving it a go. There's something that this game achieves, atmosphere-wise, that is not easily brushed aside.

EDIT - After reading the ClubFloyd transcript, a word of advice: don't expect deep implementation. This advice is to save you from undue frustration. Keep interactions shallow and surface-level. This lack of implementation is something I'd normally balk at, but... what can I say? I had no trouble navigating the game till the end, so my experience was practically seamless. So my review must reflect that.
