Gameplay Mechanics & Systems

My first pure horror game! Apparently I was quite successful, because one player refused to keep playing after a certain event happened. I’m pretty happy with this one, both because the game is quite neat, and it’s also a technical achievement in Twine. I’m pretty sure this was the first Twine game to feature a roaming NPC.
