I was glad of the Progress link, because the game felt more like a somewhat disconnected series of incidents, and the Return button kept breaking or sending me in loops. The Progress link at least let me make sure I’d seen everything, but it didn’t feel completed, because there was no conclusion? Perhaps that’s part of the mystery, but I think I’d have liked it a lot more if the scenes drew together into … something

This is a narrative game where you are guided through a terrific story from childhood to amnesia. The system is different to other games but it is short enough, this don't do the difference.

The premise here is really pleasantly spooky: subtle, practically forcing the reader to work out the horror of it themselves.  I only wish it had...gone somewhere?  This feels like a terrific setup for something, and I'm not sure what, and I'm not even sure it needs to move forward--having the present moment be the end, and everything filled in by memories (of last week, of childhood...) works really well, but I just kind of wanted some narrative closure on it.

Something to think about if you decide you want to revisit or expand it?
