I'm not surprised that this was based on a dream; the game had a strange, unsettling flow to it that felt like one of those anxiety dreams you can't explain when you wake up. The anecdote told by the neighbour was memorable, but also just the vibe of being in the house and something feeling "off".

Thanks for playing, officecyborg. I’m glad the game felt unsettling to you (in a good way!).
And it’s validating for me to hear that the neighbour’s anecdote was memorable in what I hope is also a good way. At the time of writing the game I was struggling to figure out how I’d put to words what I saw in the dream.
