UNHEIMLICHKEIT INCARNATE
I am a sucker for a good fragment, sometimes just a single corner can imply the rest of the shape. Of all the stories suitable to being disjointed in this way, this one is really perfect. I am blown away by the creeping dread and the exquisite depiction of loneliness-as-place. The imagery and textures, the light and colour, and the sound all creep under the skin. This has incredible promise. It is all threat.
I am also really in love with the stark, numbered object-oriented format of the various choices. It's quite cinematic, I can feel the hard cuts between close-ups of the evidence locker contents.
You might actually experience "sick building syndrome" through the screen if you play this, I can feel the asbestos hovering above my head.

ty (especially for feedback on the text-only version)!! the harshness feels baked into the Videotome engine, and to a degree with the lower-quality photos on Wikimedia. i fell back on some fathersland instincts with the deadline: hopefully next time the images better match jane as someone physically in the house instead of a detached documentary observer..
