Literally what it says on the tin, July 20, 2023This game was written for the Neo Twiny Jam in 500 words or less.
However, it contains a great deal of graphics and sound, making it a longer experience than its word count might as first suggest.
It's exactly what it states; you play as a character who keeps visiting a website called evisceratethisgirl.com where you make an avatar of yourself and then stab it.
The idea is to communicate self-hatred, loathing and despair. The graphics continually get more glitchy and dark.
For me, the narrative emotion arc was a bit off. It starts off grotesquely and with distorted visuals right off the bat. There's not much chance to identify with the protagonist because they're immediately displayed as an unusually messed up person. So when things progress, it doesn't feel like it's happening to me. Similarly, the graphics start out shocking and weird, so there's not much room for it to grow. But this is subjective and another person might have the opposite reaction.
