Seven days in purgatory (2020 Sept 5th, Chapters 3/7) (ko-fi open: Jan 6)

I’m really enjoying the game so far. Makes me wonder what’s really going on. Keep up the incredible work!

Most of these are intentional; The pronoun change in the nightmare is part of the dream (might change it later), the trailing off was indeed intentional, and the sound… well. Do you know what a sound is?
The last one though is definitely a mistake. Thanks for pointing it out! I didn’t mean to upload the third chapter, though. It’s unedited, so there will probably be lots of mistakes. I’ll refine it before announcing the third update.

I just looked up “sound”! I had never heard of such a definition, so I was thinking it meant, well, audio. Hearing. Hence why I was confused, so I get it. I like what you have so far, I’m curious to where this will lead because I have many suspicions. Good luck on this! Having fiddled with choicescript, I now understand the struggle a little better.

Not sure if this was found yet but while playing a female MC with a female partner this shows up at close to the end of the demo when you check out the gramophone when ask your partner if you even like Gramophones.

Maybe this is what $Anthony meant when $he said you said it makes you want to cough. Thinking of that comment does make you want to cough, so you clear your throat a few times.

Oh, thanks for pointing it out, but I know. The third chapter wasn’t meant to be uploaded, so it’s an unedited version.

Ooh, interesting demo! :eyes: Gave me sum spooky vibes. Also (apologies if this has already been said, I haven’t read the whole thread), is this story possibly inspired by S.J Watson’s “Before I go to sleep?” I’ve read that book and find the setting, plot and story to be similar… :thinking:

I haven’t read that book, actually. I suppose every psychological thriller genre involving amnesia has to have similarities to each other.

My bet is that the spouse had something to do with this, maybe trying to use our amnesia to influence us? :thinking:

I was gonna keep my little solitary discord server private until I finish chapter 3, but a member appeared, so what the hell. I’ll just put the link here incase anyone wants to see the progress or contribute or just chat.


I’ve been using it as a personal notebook, so I’ll probably still be in the habit of talking to myself lol

Ok quick disclaimer; I’m gonna retract my statement that the story isn’t anything “fantastical”.
Take from it what you will, but you’ve no need to limit your theories now.
