You look at your hideous reflection on the lake — she no longer comes to the surface. A very short (~600 words), very experimental gothic horror retelling of The Little Mermaid. I just wanted to do some Twine-esque interactive fiction in Ren'Py, so don't expect too much from it. There's one special ending if you read all of the 10 linked scenes. Content warning The game is mostly poetic and ab…

Sit around the campfire with your friends and assemble a spooky ghost story. Was it an eldritch cult or the living dead causing trouble for the local townsfolk? Did the terror happen in a derelict gas station, or perhaps it was an abandoned carnival? And how did they meet their fate?

It’s time to move across the country, and the only person with a car is your ex-partner. Suck up your pride and play through your trip and relationship’s road bumps, obstacles, and detours. Witty dialogue and moments of quiet, human connection are interspersed on a trip that reflect the oddities and struggles of Midwestern drives.

It is nearly the end of the year, and you can't help but think to yourself that there must be more to…
