Yesss love to see some interactive fiction! Really amazing presentation, the minimalist art and sound design feels sharp and honed and I'm super impressed at how immersive just the addition of a heartbeat with a changing rate was. The writing was great and all the events landed really well, enough that I felt like I had to play and replay to see the results of different choices. I loved it!

You picked a truly excellent art style! It's very consistent and matches the tone beautifully. The very dynamic portrait and heartbeat for the player add a lot of immersion to the scenes. The narrative descriptions fit the pace and atmosphere well.
You've taken a lot of care to really heighten the impact of all of the game's major moments, and there are enough story branches to invite players to try again. Very nicely done!
I like many others have been targeted by what's in here; even the infestation scene which is usually not my area was done in a way that i enjoyed. I think i ended up seeing everything there is to see, which i wasn't sure whether i'd be interested enough to do going in. The sound of the heartbeat and being inside the beast, all really good. I feel like the water around the worm, and being inside the alcove at the end, might be wanting for a couple ambient sounds of their own, but that's the only thing i can really think of other than stuff that would just inflate the workload.
This was a wonderful experience. The sounds really added to everything. The included kinks definitely hit my buttons.
Very cool! I really like the sound design. That paired with the art style gives a really solid atmosphere. The abstract-ness gives all the necessary information, while letting one's brain fill in any specific details, which is a nice touch. My only critique is that while I know it's a short game, some sort of quicksave would have been nice, since I had to play through the intro every time to see each ending.
That's a Masterpiece! At first I wasn't feeling like it, but then I got in that scene with the high heart beat and then calming down and I, myself felt calming down as well, as if it just- 10/10 immersion here
Wow okay I think I discovered kinks I wasn't super aware I had. Uh. (Well, also ones I did know I had and are usually things I never think I come across often but there we go. I appreciated the options to both submit and resist, for sure.)
That aside, short and sweet. Things were very dreamlike in how they progressed. I think I've found every ending (but that's not for certain), and I thought the minimalist art was extremely evocative, also sort of retro-feeling like others have pointed out? The heartbeat ambience was pretty fitting. A few more other ambient sounds would have been nice (maybe they were there and I missed them) but, well, jam, etc.
Wow this is so insanely up my alley haha
Presentation is very fun, reminds me of old console point-and-clicks like the Goonies one, and the heart-rate monitor and uterus x-rays were surprisingly hot and well-rendered. I also appreciated that the character's identity was ambiguous and undisclosed, made it feel very immersive as a trans guy with certain interests.
Very nice little game. I need me a worm symbiote :<
