This game was written for Neo Twiny Jam in 500 words or less.
It's a short game with a simple structure, with a binary decision, each result being followed by a binary decision.
The writing is emotional, a metaphor for some form of neurodivergence (depression? anxiety?) as a beast. It takes events from normal life and makes an allegorical version in another reality.
It's well written, but the different endings felt a bit disparate, and perhaps could have been tied together more.
A personal piece about depression, told from the perspective of the beast and the victim. Each POV have a choice between two actions, each affecting the other, before another day begin and the struggle starts anew.
