This might be niche request, but I'm interested in reading stories that wrap themselves up within one day. Durwood Mansion is one that I reviewed recently, which was a good read if anyone hasn't gotten around to it yet.

Well-written stories of course. I realize there's a lot of mediocre or worse stories here that also have a short timeframe.

I'm sure there are plenty, I'm just curious what the particular appeal of that is for you. I really don't think anyone has ever made this exact request before.


Umm, off the top of my head?

I'll check it out, thanks!

Earlier I was reflecting on movies that took place within a day - off the top of my head, stuff like Clerks, Do the Right Thing, and Sinners which is a more recent entry. I was curious to see what sorts of circadian media existed on CYS.

If you want a short one and love dogs, give Wholesome Dog's Birthday Adventure a try.

I played that one earlier! That was a cute one, I liked it.

Rainbow-1 was criticized for being "only one day". It is not quite true depending on which path you choose, but at most it will be two days and two nights. And one of the main paths takes only a day.

I remember that one. I enjoyed it a lot. I distinctly remember NOT dying when I jumped out of a helicopter—which is awesome, because it was an opportunity for one of those insta-deaths that suck so badly.

Also, it seems you've added images. /thumbsup



Definitely check this one out, Mousecore.

I am still working on adding more pictures and also some more branches -- because it needs more endings.

I'll put your story on my list! Seems like a good one to get me back into a reviewing groove too.

Geek takes place in a day, I think?

Also, TRASH and Love Sick
