I Did Not Buy This Ticket

[i]"I'm all out of hope One more bad dream Could bring a fall"[/i] [h2]Eyes Without a Face[/h2] I can almost never sleep on a bus. At least, not the normal kind of sleep. It's more like slipping into a state of semi-consciousness, with one leg firmly planted in the uneasy reality of travelling on public transport and the other drifting in cloudy waters, lazily dangling from Hypnos' boat. I can't even imagine how I'd be able to catch some Z's if I found myself on a mystery bus that I did not buy a ticket for. The description mentions that I Did Not Buy This Ticket is a short psychological horror game, but to be honest, it is mildly unsettling, not horror. I believe the game is described better as a creepy and surreal visual novel. So, if you are looking for a horror experience, you'd best look for it elsewhere. If however, you are interested in a mystery game where you have to piece together a puzzle of tragedy and grief, where the pieces are presented in the form of reccuring, bizzare places/characters and mentally-taxing introspection, then take a seat and strap yourself in: the bus will depart soon. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3762010790 [i]"When I'm far from home Don't call me on the phone To tell me you're alone"[/i] [h2]Les Yeux Sans Visage[/h2] Candelaria is a professional (claiming to be a hobbyist) mourner with insomnia. Her job is to cry at funerals and her clients are the loved ones of the deceased. The dead may be strangers to her but that doesn't deter her one bit: she cries them all the way down to the grave. A lamentation for a life unknown and a service to the grief-stricken family. As her job demands, she is always travelling to the next 'gig', always by bus. She does so, not only as means of mere transportation but also as a cure to her chronic insomnia, since sleeping on the road is the only way she can experience the comfort of proper sleep. Her morbid routine is interrupted when one night she finds herself on board a bus unlike any other she has been before. A bus from the Eigengrau Line. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3763524877 I Did Not Buy This Ticket requires multiple playthroughs to piece together its story. There are also quite a lot of endings, all directly affected by Candelaria's choices and not always in a clear, concise way: a small action of kindness can lead to damnation and being unapologetically rude can actually save a life -or two. In any case, the surreal is guaranteed in almost all of Candelaria's interactions with the strange world of the game. David Lynch would definitely be proud of its story-weaving. Give it a try!
