Eerie. Quite well-written, and requires thought but doesn't feel frustrating in trying to beat. I managed to get (all?) three endings after a few tries. Nice work.

If you're thirteen years old, then you are the most precocious writer I've ever seen. Regardless, not only is this one of the best written stories on the site, it is one of the best stories, and combines the intense descriptions disturbing photos. Excellent everything! This is going in my list.

This game is amazingly done. The writing is fantastic, despite a handful of spelling errors near the beginning. 8/8

Well, it wasn't the creepiest of things. (much of what I read was gore for the sake of gore, some vague symbolism, and not much character development. Not to mention the silent hill tumor at the end of the first hallway, and clocks that I see no real purpose for.) But it wasn't the worst, and I guess it isn't creepy only when you over-think it, which I often do. But you did nicely otherwise, and you made an advanced storygame, and for that I respect your abilities. The combat was (surprisingly) satisfying, and it was touching in a weird way when it was revealed that Nathan was [SPOILERS].

I would've liked to be able to kill the big bubbly thing in the hallway outside the starting room. Other than that, this was brilliant!
