Lazarus Cage

It's really just a gruesome death simulator...

I tried a bunch of different paths that all led to creative ways to die. The deaths are described in reasonable detail so that's good I guess. But with every death, I felt less and less inclined to continue. I don't even know if there is supposed to be a true ending if you wait and eat enough times or something, but I didn't feel particularly motivated to find out because I didn't really care about the protagonist.

Some good description, especially getting chopped up by the fan. A bit of a mystery.

No real insight into some meaningful problem the character is trying to solve, no motives other than escaping a room for which we begin with no idea why the POV character is trapped in. No real motives other than trying to figure out the answer to that question.

What would have made this better was slipping in a sense of foreboding, fear, and uncertainty for the POV character, as well as some sort of personality to them.

The concept of a story with no real ending is fascinating to me, and I greatly enjoyed this. The little writing we got from it was very stylistically appropriate, and I thought it was a great entry.
