Eh

The story wasnโ€™t horrible. But I finished it in 10 minutes with really no alternate endings. Donโ€™t pay money to remove the ads itโ€™s a waste of money. No replay value just a short quick fix.

Quick and Well Written

This was a nice little story that required some minor thought before choosing an action. The writing was well done and the idea was unique. It's good for a quick fix. I would have loved to see it more in depth and expanded to allow for more complicated decision making, but I still enjoyed it.

Way too short

Not much to this "maze." I was done in about an hour and I'm pretty sure there are no alternate endings. Writing is not bad but this needs more content.

Total Waste of Time

One of the least satisfying games I have ever played. Additionally, it combines two of my pet peeves. One, grammatically precise writing instead of good writing. Two, an author who thinks he's (she's? really, who cares so long as I'm not obligated to read more) profound.

Kill your darlings, darling. Kill your darlings.

Like other reviewers, I find it deeply dissatisfying that I am obligated to play this game as a heterosexual male, even though I am male. Choice of Games does such a wonderful job of avoiding this in many of their games; it really should be a mandatory quality of any product they produce so those of us who care can know what we're getting.

Short

It's short and boring but at least it's free.

Good but Frustratingly buggy.

Very nice concept, and very abstract, but in the hospital scene, it says I have reached 100% fear when it is only 55-65%. This is very annoying, as I would like to see the ending of the game.

:-| ummm?

It's a good and well designed game, but I only get to part with the cat that's supposed to be my wife, then I wake up and the cycle happens again. It's an infinite loop. I still really love the game and it was very scary! :-) I love your games, and hope to see more in the future. Four stars!

Meh

tl;dr: too easy and too boring (at least it's short and free).

The choices that led to the best ending were too obvious. You can beat this game in less than 10 minutes (depending on how fast you read). The choices you make also had too linear an effect on your stats. There was nothing complex about this game at all, even though it was trying to be "insightful." (Also, maybe I've been spoiled, but I also like games where I don't always *have to be* a heterosexual man)

If you're desperately bored--like I was--and like the interactive fiction game genre, then sure get this game, because, hey, it's free. But do not pay for the no ads. It's a game you'll finish in a snap, and it has no replay value. If you're looking for a good, or even just okay, quality game, look else where; do not waste your time.

Overall, this game just sucked.

BUGGY!!!!!

Whenever I got 100% insight it would just say I had 100% fear. This means I can't continue with the game and in my mind it is very poor

Yep a nightmare

But not the way I hoped. I gave it 3 stars, instead of 1, because it has some degree of interesting ideas - but not that many.

There's some sort of glitch...

The story is extremely interesting but I can't even play it past a certain point shortly after the hospital scene. I've reached 100% lucidity and around 65% fear by the time I reach that point, but every single time I get there, it says I reached 100% fear and the story ends.

Intriguing

So many people are complaining about bugs, but I haven't encountered any after playing 5 games.

Nice, but bugged

Luckily, I'd gotten a satisfying ending first time, but I replayed it and found many bugs.
But these are mostly avoidable:
With 100 lucidity, don't say hello to the ghost.
Don't stomp the geese
Don't do anything that they don't want you to XP

I don't favour the style, games such as imprisoned change when you pick a different option, but I like the deep roots of the story ๐Ÿ’•

Great app

This game took me an hour to finnish and i really enjoyed it, keep up the good work!

Poor

The idea of the game was good and was OK, but I played this game twice. First I had 55 insight and 70 fear. My second time I got 70 fear again but 100 insight! I was happy until the game claimed I'd hit 100 fear and not gained anything else. That's just annoying.

Don't bother...

Its not very interesting and its a very short game. Oh well, at least I didn't pay anything for it.

Kafka? Is that you?

This was a really fun, disjointed, horrible dream that I felt completely drawn into. The game is short, but very satisfying once you win!

A wonderful game/maze

A very well built maze. Definitely worth replaying to reach the true ending.

text should be a little bigger

Actually pretty good

It was actually an alright game, made me think quite a bit but i eventually reached the end!
