This is meant to be fairly frightening, and I hope it leaves some lasting impressions. Throughout the story, you won't come in contact with any sane people. It isn't terribly long, and you don't have a terrible number of choices, but again, that's not my intention. I'm working on two much longer stories for that. The choices you make here will not be "Do you open the door, or run," so much as "Do you take the book, or leave it,". This is an experience. Please don't mark me down because you didn't have lots of choices, or because I didn't leave it on a scary cliffhanger. I'd get mad, and vent on one of my remaining friends. All of the choices you make are important, and they do come into play. And, as for the ending, it's meant to explain things, and not to keep you up all night.
Don't assume that just because a few of the paths join back up later that all of them do. Playing this again will yield different results, if your choices are significantly different.
Is it clown-with-chainsaw scary? No. I have self-respect. No clowns, no chainsaws.
As for maturity, there is blood, and a little language, but I gave the rating I did because this is, at least, according to my test group, pretty intense.
This is an ongiong experiment, of what scares and what doesn't as much, especially in written form. Feel free to comment or message me with feedback.
