Gorgeous prose! I really enjoyed the subtle tonal shifts from Demetrios' party dialogue to Peter's recollection and internal monologue. This story is one that I'll be pondering in the corners of cold nights for sure.
Quick and interesting game. I enjoyed how the sailor struggled with the appropriateness of the story for his audience.
This was well done! I played through a few times and couldn’t find a way to get Maria to freedom or to figure out where the voice came from–is either possible?–but everything is suitably chilling all the same.
Nope! I had ideas for more options to try and possibly a set of different endings but 4 hours isn't a lot of time. I spent a shameful amount of time on Demetrios' dialogue at the start of the game and so I ended up pruning the rest of the story.
Ha, I feel that! :)
I liked this a lot! It's well-written and tells a short, self-contained story. Thanks!
Thanks for playing!
