A bilingual game about a menacing therapist and a cup of coffee, February 21, 2023
Related reviews: 15-30 minutes

This is a heavily-altered Twine game that has images with mouse-over animations, text that changes in dramatic ways, and other fancy effects. I had to turn on the scrollbar to get it to work on my mouseless laptop, but otherwise it worked well.

The game was written in English and then translated to French, but I played it in French first, an amusing intentional roadblock in understanding between two Anglophones. I then replayed twice in English.

The game is brief, but rich. You have been seeing a psychiatrist and are having lapses in memory, have been hearing voices, etc. At first, the doctor is eager to help you, exploring your past, but things get darker...

Overall, it's a surreal game whose strongest features are it's neat visual effects, its replayability, and its sinister atmosphere.
