very interesting, the writing has a dreamlike quality to it that i really appreciate. the story just starts and you're there and things happend without anything being explained but it doesn't need to, to do what it does. to me at least. i played this twice and i think there might be a broken connector after you take the second hit near the end (where it says 'you're spiraling but it's good to let go')? in any case, this was an enjoyable experience. great work :)

I really enjoyed this. When I voluntarily "ruminated" my traumatic memories, was pulled into a dark thought pattern and then - through another choice - emerged back to Horn's voice, the experience really came together! I reached "you venture into the woods with her, curious to see how Horn has made this abandoned shed her own." and then it ended a bit abruptly. I found this very sensitive and graceful in terms of translating such a subtle emotional experience into interactive fiction, which I think is a serious challenge. Congrats!

Thank you for such a thoughtful and lovely comment. It really means a lot to me. It was very difficult and emotional to design and write the section with Horn. I had a lot of doubts and even considered not submitting it at all. Knowing that my intentions and hopes for it were felt is really affirming.
Thank you.

It has a captivating dreamlike quality. I thought I understood it, and then I didn't.
