my father's long, long legs [Online CYOA]

[Tengukami]

"My family lived on the southern edge of a certain Midwestern industrial city in an old house, old enough that its basement still had a dirt floor.

I was not yet old enough to openly question a parent's behavior, but certainly old enough to recognize its oddness, when my father began digging."

This very Lovecraftian CYOA story is well worth checking out. Different routes produce slightly different outcomes, and once you're at the point where you're using the flashlight ... it starts to get much creepier.

It's a pretty solid story, too, even if the language is a little hammy. I always enjoy game-ifying fiction like this, and I think it works well with horror.

Damn, that was tense. Literally started sinking in my couch when everything went dark near the end.

Very good story. Could indeed use a little less purple prose, but it's not too distracting.

Ha ha. Neat. That was a solid weird fiction story. Bookmarked so I can take another look at it later and maybe get something different to happen.

[Zengar Zombolt]

Daaaamn. So much tension. I loved this.

[LaserTurtle]

That was terrifying.

And the humming. Worse than the shovel noises. You get used to the shovel noises. They just become creepy.

Then the humming starts.

_{you are my sunshine, my only sunshine...}

If you'll excuse me, I'll be sobbing under my covers because now I won't be able to remember that song at all without thinking of this.

Hm~m.

Is there only one ending?

While there was choices, in the end, it seemed kinda like it was all going to be about the same regardless of what I picked.

Maybe I'll try again, though... [edit later] yeah the branching paths earlier on just dictate in what order the story is told to you, and the later ones don't really make a difference. Had to make sure~
