About the Story

A short game <500 words and absurdist horror fiction.

Before the end, July 9, 2025

It is just a few steps to the noose which will soon end you. Still, your mind is awash in thoughts and feelings as you take the final steps. Nothing seems to matter, yet you keep thinking.

The writing and theme is fairly evocative. I did like the color scheme in particular, as it was still easy to read while being able to convey the vibe. There is a bit of sound in the game, but it didn't leave much of an impact on me. Overall, this game is linear and a short read, but one which shows you the rush of thoughts before the very end during that time.
