by Seth Paxton
(2021)

OverThinking says:

Another IFComp 2021 entry. It's clear from the get go that your choices matter and are irrevocable, and it got me invested quickly enough that I didn't get frustrated when it was unforgiving.

25. What Heart Heard Of, Ghost Guessed
by Amanda Walker

OverThinking says:

Another IFComp 2021 entry. Uses a set of custom verbs to great effect. I have a bit of a soft spot for this kind of horror.

OverThinking says:

Another IFComp 2021 entry. I was initially put off by some of the interface (and by the length, which was about twice as long as the comp listing claimed), but it's since grown on me.
