storytime!
When I was a kid (4~8 years old?), I made dozens and dozen of "homophones", which were this genre of puzzle/adventure games I invented. Basically, they were one-page point-and-click adventures, drawn on paper. Think Hapland, but worse. (Ironically, I never had the patience to beat any of the Hapland games...)

My parents would play them and get frustrated to no end, because they were frustrating! But they did have logic behind them, and after you had found all the bad endings where you were eaten by a qui or burned by lava, you would (hopefully) realize the intended solution, and free yourself from the game.

This is another one of these games, made decades later. It's the same style of unfair and frustrating, so idk that I can really recommend playing it... but it was fun to make! (Honestly idk how you're gonna play this without me there to be the GM; maybe follow along with what cryss does in the stream VOD...? but that has spoilers. idk. maybe I will update this to also include a choose-your-own-adventure-style booklet of instructions. maybe I could GM for you in a discord call if you really wanted? warning: the game is frustrating and obtuse!)
