IFDB - Game Note: this game is a demo/in alpha. CW: Injury, medical trauma, body horror, parasites, decomposition, death, insanity, doubt, strong language, sexual themes.

Summary: Life is a narrative, but is it yours? Two students find themselves locked in a library after hours.

This is a tales in two parts, two POV, where things are not quite what they seem. You are given the choice of two paths: to follow the story of the boy or the girl (you play the other as well), with the actions from the first part of the story affecting the second, and both the ending.

I managed to get a fairly good ending, by playing it smartly - choosing any option to get the hell out of here, I'm not following dumb horror actions xD. The writings about what is going on are on the wall, the game not always been very subtle about it. I did like the mirroring of the actions between both paths. It does not fit quite completely, both PC being somewhat unreliable narrators, but it makes for an eerie experience.

I also chose to play the "boy" path before the "girl" one, which ends up working in favour of the game - the former pushing more of a damsel in distress trope, while the latter has a badass taking charge girl. The writing is much superior in the "girl" path than in the "boy" one.

There is an interesting core with this game, and I hope the author will update/polish it in the future!

A figure in your unconscious turns at your presence

Sacrificed some sleep last night to do some drawing :0

We begin in the waking world, which humanity insists on calling the "real world". As if your dreams have no effect upon the choices you make. You mortals go about your works, your loves, your wars, as if your waking lives are all that matter. But there is another life which awaits you when you close your eyes, and enter my realm. For I am the King of Dreams, and Nightmares.

I watched Gentlemen Prefer Blondes out of an excess of boredom and unwillingness to do any of the things I actually have to do today, and (a) it really is staggering how attractive Marilyn Monroe is, even when next to Jane Russell; (b) Jane Russell is tall. Not excessively (wikipedia says she was 5'7" and intensely Christian, also surprising) but she's taller than most of her castmates and it shows; and also (c) I found out that it was based on Anita Loos' novel by the same name, which was a thinly-veiled send up of the Roaring 20s, with her writing her contemporaries into the stories. This does make me feel slightly robbed, because I think this film would be even more interesting if it was set in the 20s, America hovering on the cusp of financial ruin and partying with increasing, feverish hope of no tomorrow; Lorelei being aggressively cavalier about everything except having money, and dragging her more sensible, if sarcastic, co-conspirator around Europe with her.

knuckles series spoilers like actual spoilers not just me vaguely talking about my feelings

i cant believe they put iblis in the sonic movies before amy . what timeline are we in . sorry i was gonna hold out for a litlte bit on saying anything that could be an actual spoiler but i literally cant stop thinking about Giant Iblis Puppet Jumpscare . also for people who didnt actually watch it and are reading the posts about it this happens when wade is knocked out and sent to the magic ghost dimension and meets pachacamac and theres a musical number where wade is in a knuckles costume acting out knuckles' life so far and the giant iblis puppet shows up because apparently knuckles has fought iblis before??? and the iblis puppet is holding a laptop singing about facebook marketplace. im not lying i couldnt even make this up if i tried

also when i say "damn cant believe iblis got in before amy" i understand that amy would have been harder to incorporate its just wild that this happened. does that make sense. idk

Today I fell asleep on the couch, but it was so uncomfortable I ended up in a weird subconscious state, like a sleep paralysis...

Then I dreamed for a bit and BARBATOS WAS THERE, like OH WOW HI HUBBY WAY TO VISIT ME I LITERALLY CAN'T MOVE

Sadly nothing too interesting happened, but it was way better than sleep paralysis... Sleep Barbatisis.

How do people keep having such cool Obey Me related dreams? I would love to have a Barbatos dream encounter lol!

Sleep Barbatisis lolol. I mean, people do say they are visited by sleep paralysis demons. Though they usually sound terrifying. So I do think having Barb show up instead would be preferable. At least he's pretty, right?

I've only really experienced sleep paralysis once and it was incredibly annoying. Like hello I have things to do, I don't have time to be immobilized thanks.

Maybe he'll come back to you and something interesting will happen~

Although they don't really mention Barbatos having any kinda sleep related powers, I somehow wouldn't be surprised if he could visit dreams on purpose. Maybe he can portal himself into them or something. Nothing can convince me that he wouldn't use such a power to visit you deliberately. He's just checking in this time, but if he comes back...
