I’ve had this game on my wishlist for 9 years, and it doesn’t seem to have any reviews.
I think that may be because it is unfinished or buggy. At least, the version I played on philome.la was; I’m on mobile right now and can’t access the zip so it may be improved. I found a game-killing bug opening a medicine cabinet and a page with no links to click on in the basement, as well as some “image goes here” text.
Outside of that, this game is pretty interesting as an exploratory comedy Twine Lovecraftian game. It has some fancy looking graphics and a “self esteem” and inventory system.
Your high school has weird noises and things coming out of it on a weekend and you decide to investigate. As you do you encounter some math puzzles and a lot of Lovecraftian stereotypes played for laughs.
A charming game. I hope the zip version has less bugs because this game has a lot of potential, but the low number of reviews suggest other would be reviewers may have gotten stuck.
