I doesn't exist - a modern text adventure

First off, this isn't a typical text adventure. This is, as some have said, a 'meta horror game.' Text is primarily how you interact, but not the entirety. PROS: - Fun, pixel art style - Good ambiance, nothing breath-taking, but immersive nonetheless - A fun, yet simple story with 4 potential endings - You can pet cats!! The biggest con comes in the dialogue-heavy sections. These parts have a few questions that actively progress the story. It would be nice to see more options to flesh out the story more. There are certain points the game progresses to, despite what you type. This is typical of games with set endings, but it's more jarring in this game. However, once you understand the rhythm, it's an enjoyable game. All four endings surprised me, in terms of how the characters reacted. It wasn't a full good vs. evil. It's not terribly frightening. [spoiler]This game is more introspective, touching on the psychology of accepting yourself. I, personally, have an affinity for these types of games.[/spoiler] [spoiler]If you're stuck on asking questions, ask very generic questions about the environment. Like, what do you think about X?[/spoiler] If you enjoy psychological horror and a possible existential crisis, you will enjoy this game!

tbh the point it tries to make throughout the gameplay is barely understandable. not just that, there are MULTIPLE endings, which i normally love. however, this game does not have much replay-ability for me (personally) because the text commands require you to be so specific for them to function properly. + the fire-pit puzzle bugged for me to the point i could barely get past it without searching gameplay. :(

This game is a bit bare bones. I like games that try to break away from the norm and also has multiple endings, but the avatar comes off as whiny never wanting to do anything when asked even though the whole story is about him wanting to break free

I really enjoyed this game, it is worth a playthrough. If you are on Linux, make sure to download the Windows version and play it using proton. The Linux version does not work. It is short and I won't spoil it.

Blown away by how fun & clever! I have to find more secrets...

Don't trust the mushroom.

One of the most interesting games I played this year.

A really fascinating experience with a lot of interesting ideas and beautiful presentation. In the later parts during conversations, the game sometimes misunderstood what i meant, which was a little frustrating. But otherwise I really enjoyed it!

I often didn´t know how to calm the character though I tried my best. That felt frustrating. Besides that, I love the idea, I love the artstyle, and I´d certainly recommend it.
