A gross game about nosebleeds and social anxiety, October 28, 2022I had heard rumors about this game before I played it.
This is one of many Texture games entered in this competition, and it's probably the best-put-together one out of the bunch.
It's a visceral body-horror game in a limited sense; you have blood leaking out of your nose while at work but you feel desperately like you can't pay attention to it or fix to it or you'll be letting everyone down.
I'm sure there are many interpretations of this, but I definitely feel like it touches on social anxiety/impostor syndrome (actually, looking back, one of the content warnings is social anxiety).
The visceral text is accompanied by excellent animations that make the spreading drip of the nose bleed a lot more real. I had some trouble, though, with a completely black screen, taking a long time to find the right way out.
This game grossed me out and I didn't enjoy playing it, but I think that speaks to its quality.
