The Hovering Darkness
A downloadable game
The Hovering Darkness is a short interactive non linear tale where you need to survive and figure out what is happening. Its essence is inspired by Lovecraft. Although the whole experience takes less than 5 minutes there are 10 possible endings, and somes are pretty hard to get. This is my first game in Twine and the first game that I made alone, in a personal game jam with myself.

Honestly surprised by how good this was. The sound effects do a ton to create atmosphere and the recurrence of ideas like jumping out of the idea and getting phone calls is all really well handled. I also really like the timer mechanic. I don't think found all of the ending, but all of the one I did were pretty interesting.
One small complaint is that sometimes the it isn't entirely clear what the options is a response to. For example there's the message "You go to your Dad's room since you remember that he had one hidden in his closet. Its getting harder to breath. Your phone rings again" and one of the options "Hello, little beauty!" and my first time through I wasn't sure if that was a response to the person on the phone or if the character had found gun outside of the block of text.
Thank you for playing and for this detailed feedback, I really aprecciate it! It was a Scarface referece, but I agree its should be more clear, I will correct this
