A fun read. Drew me in enough to finish it. I am sad I didn't find the last hidden achievement. Thumbs up overall.
Story is clearly a rough draft that really needs an editor. Since this is a text-adventure game, that fact is really quite bad. Incoherent story with no ending or connection between scenes after the first act. Felt like reading a very half-baked SCP story. Have you played Planescape Torment? What can change the nature of a man? Go play that game. Much, much, much more well-written. I also recommend Disco Elysium.
Not since Stellaris' Horizon Signal have I felt so powerfully about a cosmic horror story. This writer *gets* eldritch horror, in a way beyond expectation. It is a woven masterpiece, a tapestry of dread and longing and I daren't say more. Please, play it.
I'm not even going to pretend that I understood everything that happened in this game, but it was a wonderful experience nonetheless. The writing was stunning and the music was beautiful and very fitting. It was fantastic to read the drafts you included and get a glimpse into the creative process behind the story. I absolutely love your work
Really good execution. Love the music.
Penrose is truly unique in it's mechanics. Worth a playthrough, or rather read-through. And that means a lot from someone who doesn't often like to read.
how to write a visual novel without using Twine (and in a very inventive and interesting way)! Also, spooky, but like, pretty. The UI is very very clearly designed for a phone though.
Fantastic, concise horror-novella experience. Makes me want to write, and compose music again. Love the dev notes.
This game / interactive novel, is completely sleeped on. I was hooked from the start, thinking it to be an adventure story with a supernatural hook (since you click on words to change the timeline) but it goes harder than that, becoming a genuine work of cosmic horror. Please play it, so more can be made!
Love this kind of thing you should go play this
