How will you survive in the outside world without a face?, May 3, 2025

The protagonist has fought angels and been injured in a war against them, and is now recovering in a monastery without a face, in order to not be seen by the angels. A lot about the angels and the monastery isn't filled in, and I'd like to know more, but the real story is about something else: the protagonist goes on a journey through a sometimes disturbing landscape, and is haunted by dreams of terrible things that happened in the past.

This is an effective use of Twine link text to draw out the story slowly - sometimes the player needs to go back, wait, or click on a number of options before moving forward. There's some atmospheric sound effects, too - wind chimes in the monastery, crickets at night - and I would have liked more of these throughout the game.
