Enjoyed this! I don’t have quite this level of OCD, but I can definitely imagine having.
I had one small problem though: descriptions kept mentioning something no-longer being the case when it wasn’t the case in the first place — like the Living room no-longer stinking of rot when it hadn’t been before, or the smell of gas having dissipated when I hadn’t smelt gas first, etc. Was that just supposed to imply that I had conjured the memory of those smells since leaving the room?
It’s a bit of a timing thing depending on where and when you go places, some messages won’t trigger so things make less sense potentially.
(if we edit the game post-comp i might add some variable checks/rewrites to prevent that)
Loved it. I'm only disappointed in the ending. I know that the intruders are not real and I wish they actually were. "You were right to be worried." That would've been a better ending, a subversion, and still tied into the theme. In my opinion, at least. Even better if the "good" ending still had someone breaking in too.
The ambiguity of the ending can be argued what is real and what isn't but the theme sullies that ambiguity. There's no real weight to your supposed death because of it.
