Love and Java is a short branching choice-based piece made in pure HTML and CSS. With its 9 different endings, it paints a picture of dealing with poor mental health and its felt consequences (e.g. insomnia, isolation, hallucinations, negligence…). The descriptions of the setting and of yourself is Kafka-esque, with the run-down unfamiliar-yet-familiar rooms, or the animalistic/alien-like view of yourself (which you even compare to (Spoiler - click to show)a moth). It’s both very surreal and strangely grounded. Definitely a vibe.
I do wish there was a bit more contrast between the links and the body of text. I thought at first the game was broken, but turns out the link is simply hidden.
