A short nightmare speed-IF based on a real experience, October 31, 2018First, a note about my ratings. This game is very short and is necessarily unpolished (as a game written in just 4 hours). So I took off one star for that.
But I found it had emotional effectiveness, I would play it again, the interactivity worked for me, and the writing was descriptive.
You are having a terrible nightmare and feel paralzyed. There is only a small amount of time to help yourself.
It took me a couple of play-throughs to get through it, but I was impressed at the level of craftmanship in an Ectocomp game. Well done.
