This is my Shortventure 2018 contest entry. The theme was supposed to be about 'fear' but I screwed up and made it about cuisine and music. Sorry about that.

Pretty neat and provocative story mixed with the item management of adventure/point and click games. Kinda reminds me of Phantasmagoria in terms of its themes and item based exploration. Its good.

Honestly one of the better SVC entries. This game is styled like a fetch and gather adventure game, like King's Quest. I have never really played a WetWookie game, but the style was easily shown and executed well. Can't wait to see more!

A fangame that stands alone completely unlike any other in its presentation and gameplay. The emphasis on platforming is gone and instead you have a game that plays like the old point-and-click Sierra style adventure games of old. It is still a fangame in terms of there being some light platforming and the Kid is there, but in every other respect it's a completely different experience from other games.

A strong emphasis on story telling and puzzle solving makes the player traverse a few areas looking for items and interactions with those items to find solutions to progress the story. A horror themed games with some funny interactions snuck in there, the production is very different in a good way.

The only drawback was that due to the style of the game, the world is small which means you will be going back and forth through the same rooms quite often. One or two of these rooms in particular are mildly annoying in that one requires you to use the same item every single time you pass through it, and the other is cycle based which can lead to some waiting.

These are minor gripes and shouldn't detract fangame players of any skill level from trying this one because it is a very different experience and a memorable one at the same time.

I feel like this game has dark themes, and executes them as well as you could ask from a fangame, but is also gratuitous without much deeper meaning to it all. I wouldn't say it's "brutal for the sake of being brutal", but I also felt that everything here was fairly surface level. There's nothing wrong with that, and it's definitely top-tier for a fangame, but overall I wasn't so impressed.

Also one step in the puzzle process was so arbitrary it felt more frustrating than good to figure out: Why did I have to give the spider web to the girl to make a rope? This whole step could have been removed I think. It's just arbitrary.

A really cool experimental fangame that feels more like an old-school adventure game. Pretty good level design overall, though one sequence of events has a pretty annoying answer.

Atmosphere is on point though
