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.

Dysfunctional families make it to the world of fangames, and the themes are dark and eerie. The concept was "fear" and, although it does a decent job at it, it goes more for the tone of suspense. The thriller environment would work better, however, if it wasn't cryptic at times. The execution resembles those "click and use" PC games, so you play more a detective than someone walking through dark corridors to achieve your purpose. This form of gameplay doesn't suit my definition of "fear" at all; at least it didn't add much for me within the genre.

Also, I spent half an hour getting an item because it wasn't intuitive at all: the rope. This killed the mood for me quite a bit. I will admit I am dumb with detective games, but I found this particular find problematic, unlike the other ones, which gave you clues.

The record scene is one for the ages.

Also, be sure to keep playing for a while after the "ending". The extra stuff is quite disturbing and, hey... could a sequel be made out of this??

A good and strange "too deep for you" game. It way differs from what we usually have and offers a dark story about small group living under the stairs.
Despite some flaws (like the fact that you must use the same item every time you are in the ghost room or the fact that you need to talk to the girl to make the rope, which is kinda stupid) the game is worth playing if you are interested by that kind of atmosphere.

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.
