This game has made me feel a certain way I've never felt before. A feeling I can't describe, an futile attempt would be "sinking emptiness". This is so deep and profound, my guy.
!SPOILERS!
Around Phase 4 or 5, everything after the "your eyes stare back at you" sent straight up CHILLS down my spine. Then, once I got to the scene where I brutally slaughtered the brother, it all just felt, empty. Not in a "this game's not got me invested so idc what I do" kind of way, but more so in a "this game has made me feel and realise nothing truly matters. I have not choice." kind of way. And it was tragically beautiful.
woah this is so deep
i wish i was nicer to my bro :(((
Not gonna lie this pissed me off, but not in a bad way. It was a really good game, and I like the emotion it gave me. I can't believe what an asshole I was at the party
I was worried that this would have exactly one twist. I'm glad that I saw it through to the end. Getting to the true end after all of the doubt and uncertainty and being mislead was genuinely thrilling and cathartic. Great work!
I love how this game plays with the tropes and expectations of a personality quiz. A friend without an itchio account asked me to let you know they found a bug in the code making it impossible to ever see the melancholy end, they did up a bugfix I can link if it would be useful.
hey nice, didn't realise people were still playing this. feel free to link that and i'll see what i can do as a fix

yoinked, thanks
This is a brilliantly unsettling game. It uses the form of both online quizzes and Twine in general to tell an engrossing story. It's got intrigue, it's got mystery, it's got unspeakable horror. What more could you want?
I won't spoil anything for you. This game uses the advantages of Twine and its choice-based narrative structure perfectly. The situation is immediately unsettling, and that feeling ramps up as you go, especially once you hit the fourth phase.
Playing the game more than once reveals that your choice do impact the final reveal of who YOU are in significant ways, but at the same time masterfully conveys the futility of it all. No matter who you are, it doesn't matter. You're in the same horrifying place in the end.
This is fantastic! I'm astonished more people haven't seen this, to be honest. I haven't played a text-based game in a while, and this might just be the thing to get me back into the genre. The unnerving lack of choice when it matters, the mysterious voice asking you questions, and the hard-hitting repetition of lines that seem trivial, but grow considerably darker in context, it's all executed impressively. I played it over a lot to get all of the routes, and I have to say it was satisfying to see my stubbornness have results when I kept denying the voice consent to change me toward the end. Keep up the great work!
damn that's one of the nicest comments i've recieved on anything i've made thank you
Is there any way to rediscover me by myself?
Hi thanks for MAKING BALL MY STUPID EYES OUT-

SPOILER DO NOT READ IF YOU"RE NOT INTO THAT.
It breaks in the middle, or maybe it's the end? After you do what you did I get an error:
Error: <<print>>: bad evaluation: Unexpected token '<<'
Yep that's a bug, fixed now.
