Nice! It's useful to know which ones people think are the hardest (and that's a common one!)

Thank you for the info! I sure hope this is fixed now for people newly opening the game. (I also added a bit more flavortext and optional hint access for the first puzzle while I was at it!)

Cool! A slow EnigMarch sounds pretty great. I solved Day 9 and will check out the rest when I need another work break :)

Argh, thank you so much for letting me know! I just fixed the error (and your progress should be saved if you hit "go back" and refresh!) 

editing to add: I was wrong, it does work now, but you actually have to refresh AND restart if you run into this glitch :(

Thanks so much! <3 I have dreams of remaking it with a simpler interface, once I know how to do that. Tapping would surely be easier than typing, and different colors is a great idea too. But in the meantime, I'm glad you enjoyed it enough to stick with it!

That was great, and not at all what I expected. Really put my own problems in perspective!

This was fun! Lots of surprises, and a really creative use of all those songs. What a treat that my favorite road song was included at the very end. :)

This was a real page-turner! Such a compelling world, and the internal links/vampire tooltips add a lot. I'm sure I'll be thinking about it for a while.

This game is so sweet and calming. I will play it again the next time I need to be a dog for a while. <3

This game rules. It's very sweet and it made me laugh a bunch. Love the illustrations too! 

Thanks!!

Aw, thanks! Glad you liked it!

Thank you!!

Thanks, I'm glad! ^_^

Ahh, I needed that. Thanks for making and sharing this <3

I really liked this game! It was comforting and fortifying, and I could feel it looking back at me. <3

This is great! It truly captures the writer's condition (and yes I am currently procrastinating on writing a game)

That does sound a lot like this game! I think you're exactly right about it needing more attention to the characters—I'll be transmuting this into something else eventually, so I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! I'm not sure yet whether there will be a second draft, but either way, this is really useful feedback. And you're not the first one to mention Annihilation—I haven't read it, but maybe I should!

Played this tonight and had a flashback to reading spooky CYOA books as a kid. Great game!

I did! I wrote down some of my favorite endings:

"Then I hear a voice saying: 'Save me...' To my astonishment, the words came from my own mouth." (Room 113)

"You woke from your sleep, high up on a shelf, with porcelain skin and a missing leg." (Room 444)

"You were looking around too much... Your eyes fell out." (Room 666)

And of course... "You knew from the very beginning there was something wrong with this hotel." (Room 555)

Ah, this one will stick with me. It's so unsettling in such a specific way that just makes it feel more real. Great idea for La Petite Mort!

I have so many thoughts about this game, but until they cohere into something useful, I just want to say I loved it. The writing is beautiful, and it really made me think and feel. <3

This is delightful! Some of the endings are truly blood-curdling—my jaw dropped a few times. "I knew from the very beginning there was something wrong with this hotel."

This is really helpful feedback. Thank you!

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing your experience <3

Loved this game! Satisfyingly ridiculous to do all those things. Thinking maybe I should make a bucket list.

Thanks for playing <3

Very cool game! Moody and mysterious. Inspires me to try making one :)

Great idea for a spreadsheet game! I had to peek at the example but I succeeded in the end :)

There is someone in the game who might want it!

Thanks for playing it! <3

Thank you! I really miss Taiwan watermelon juice!!

You can always try again tomorrow!

This was really great, especially for a first attempt! Very moving, and such an effective use of the single-choice constraint. Thanks for sharing it <3

The important thing is that you didn't give up!!  🍉

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it <3

So cool to see you wrote an Inform poem! I'm fascinated on a technical level and also haunted by how well it paints the scene. So great.

Thanks so much, that's very kind! Glad you enjoyed the game :)
