This is another game by DissoluteSolute, and is the one I connected with the most so far. You play as a pet bug of a woman who was murdered by flies, using her last breath to curse them and ask her pet silkworms and tarantula to take revenge on the flies.
It is grotesque, short and focused on the story, with little implemented outside the main loop (including words mentioned in the room descriptions). In those regards, it reminds me of Baby Tree, a game that I frequently recommend to people who’ve never played IF as a way to immediately capture their attention.
I felt like the writing was solid and the main couple of puzzles were well-clued and simple but utilizing the classic parser gameplay loops.
Very short, but good.
