Review
This game is framed as a collection of friends sharing tales. After an intimidating wall of opening text, you begin playing the mini-games in random order.
You can, at any time, excuse yourself to go to the bathroom to skip a tale, which opens up a small segment of the game.
The stories were fun, and in a wide range. One was essentially a one-note joke; one was a deeply disturbing exploration in three parts that was frankly horrifying; another was like a fairy tale; and the fourth is a fun riff on metaphorical games.
I found this game truly enjoyable. Its one defect for me was the difficulty in finding the right actions/verbs on a regular basis. However, that may be part of the charm. But when I saw a pattern on the wallpaper and couldn't X PATTERN, or couldn't get a response for cutting it with one of two items present in the game, I got frustrated. SHOUT could work more often, TALK TO isn't implemented. But I don't know if it's worth it going back to spruce this game up, since the fun's already there.

How can you excuse yourself to the bathroom? I'm playing release 1, and it seems like you are always sent straight to the next vignette with no opportunity to do anything else.
On the author's website in the sidebar, it mentions a 'safeword' you can use to skip interactions. If you click to reveal the safeword, it turns out to be 'whoops gotta go' (you can get the exact phrase by typing SAFEWORD in game). That lets you go to the bathroom.
