A lot of the pictures you paint with words are honestly pretty spooky. I would've love to have seen some art of the creepy endings. The writing of the deepest path was so good I had to click through every option in the hopes I finding more.
Unfortunately I ran into a lot of "untimely demise" and "TODO" s along the branches. I almost would've been happier with a quarter of the options with one more interesting end. It was also frustrating to have to restart the game after every death, though maybe I missed the restart button somewhere.
The eyeball mouse cursor and book animations were splendid! Really great work. Would love to see this book completed!
