About the Story

Up in the mountains, there's a little town that time hasn't quite forgotten.

It doesn't seem to remember it very well, though. There aren't any visitors and the cars are a few decades too old, but we get along well enough anyhow. It's best we keep to ourselves. Visitors wouldn't last long; not with what lives in the woods.

Flashpoint is a text-based game where your choices affect the story. It allows you to select your protagonist's gender and sexuality. It includes romantic options, and a no-romance route.

A horror story set in a small-town school dance, January 16, 2025
Related reviews: about 1 hour

This game was entered in the Short Games Showcase. It's a choicescript game and begins with a lengthy opportunity to pick your gender, outfit, romantic interests, strengths, etc. before beginning with the main story.

The setup is that you're in a kind of trashy forest town where the woods are haunted with what the elders call angels. Your town has a lot of rules set up to help you avoid them, but you all are braving them during the school dance.

Your town has its share of bullies, and one of them is on the hunt for you due to events out of your control. All of this comes together at the dance.

I enjoyed the setup/premise and liked the characters and writing. I was a tiny bit disappointed with the ending, as I was hoping more for a survival story while I felt it was leaning more for an urban (or, in this case, rural) fantasy. Overall though this works as a complete whole.
