When you set out digging too deep..., November 13, 2013

by Ray

...you might just as well bury yourself along. But you'll enjoy the experience nevertheless! All the time I was wondering how the author was going to get away with his wild premise... (Spoiler - click to show)And I'm afraid he really didn't.

Creepy, evocative, and very well-written, November 11, 2013

by streever (America)

Despite being an essentially linear game with one ending, this twine suggests the experiences of agency and exploration beautifully and with meaning.

The narrative is strong, and very creepy, and the technical capabilities of Twine are well-used here to give a sense of exploration and terror. Through text, sound, and limited sight, fear slowly creeps up on the player, and you may find yourself more in the perspective of the narrator than in a graphical video game.

The side stories and anecdotes shared throughout are well-done and plotted well. Although the story has only one ending, the possibilities suggested by that ending are complex, provoking speculation as to deeper meaning and intent.
