That was disturbing... I like it :)

It's a bit unclear what "hand", "foot" means in the context of the sentence. I thought it was the opposite of what it is.

Background changing to black is a bit disturbing. I think it would be better if it was all in one color.

As you wrote, the screen froze for me in web version for a second. But one time it froze completely.

Also you can't select option previously selected (from second to last sentence), but you can select older one to go back a couple choices. I'm not sure it was supposed to work that way.

Anyway, I liked it a lot. Not many text adventures here. Always good to see those.

Keep it up! Cheers!

Interesting idea! I have no idea what was going on, but the mood was creepy and I wanted to find out how it ends. I didn't mind the black screen like the previous player did, but I couldn't figure out what it means.

I always enjoy playing text based Jam games, they always are different and unique. You set a very strong mood with this game, everything was described very vividly and in quite a visceral and emotive manner. I would have liked a few more options in choices rather than simply just "hand" and "foot" and whilst I got that I was trying to get away from something, perhaps a bit more world building could have been cool. Overall though this was cool, and I really enjoyed it

Very nice story! I liked the writing, and it was interesting to see where the story went. For a moment I was expecting a twist ending, even. Good work!

There was one sentence I didn't know how to parse, though: "Then hear hurry off to relay the information" What did it mean?
