Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it

Thanks so much! This is such a lovely comment to get, I really appreciate it.

There's so many short horror games I've enjoyed that are much more based in visuals or exploring virtual spaces, and I wanted to create a similar feeling with just text. I think interactive narrative in particular is a good way to trap the player in the head of a very particular, unpleasant character, similar to what you might get from a Sayaka Murata or Tony Tulathimutte story.

And beyond being inspired by my own slowly but surely thinning hairline, I just thought it would be fun to take the piss out of the way the manosphere convinces men that everything in their lives would be perfect, if only they could just meet some impossible physical standard.

My short new narrative horror game Hairs is out today! Play it if you want to regain your hair and lose your mind. It's 100% free to play in browser, and I'd love to hear what people think!

Thank you!

Really great presentation, loved the VHS look for this. Soundtrack complimented the feeling of the text really well, and needless to say the story is really fitting for a game jam...

Glad you enjoyed it, but yeah it's a tricky line to walk with how much to keep the player in the dark...

Thanks, that's exactly the feel I was going for!

Thanks! That's a good point about the occasional break in voice to move forward though...

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it. You never can figure what you got arrested for, but it's probably something absurdly minor...

Thanks! Some questions are just meant to go unanswered though...

Thanks a lot!

This was fantastic! I enjoyed how this is a piece of interactive fiction that in a way isn't actually interactive, and I laughed out loud at the kicker. Again, really liked this.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks a lot for playing!

Thanks a lot for playing, and glad you enjoyed it! I think the internal monologue ended up being a victim of the tight deadline, I originally planned to have it show up more often, maybe even with its own dedicated branch.

Glad you liked it! I originally had more paths and endings in mind, but no matter what you choose, you'll never find out what you actually did.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot!

Super fun little blast of fps action with nice style. I enjoyed this a lot.

I've done two playthroughs of this and I'm looking forward to a third. This has such a clever fusion of narrative point and gameplay, plus so many interesting paths and characters. It's really great. I love how the story deepens the more I play through it.

Only thing I'd change - it would be great to have a new game + mode to explore the world more fully.

Got this in the bundle for Racial Justice and Equality and found it to be a really clever way to tell a story. Especially glad an android apk was included here so I could experience it on my phone.

I came into this game a bit skeptical and was totally won over by the end. The characters are all so well-designed and well-written; this was a really charming, intimate little game that left me smiling once it was over.
