"About our inner devils and things thereof."

For those with problems to start: Try typing the bottom line.

For those with problems after that: Try to continue typing.

EDIT #1

Removed some typos.

FIRST

Maybe there are some errors regarding english. If there are, i will correct then in a later polished version. If there are not, yay for me.

Perhaps it's because I just finished my entry and my brain is dead but I can't get through the "Every now and then, ..." screen.

Some instructions would be useful :)

Add in this page description. I knew this would be a problem, but i opted for the no in game tutorial aprouch(it's probably bad in this case).

I completed the game, it's pretty original. At first you don't really see the point in the gameplay but as you type the story you feel somehow part of it, it makes you pay attention and, as weird as it can sound, typing can be immersing.

Well done!

Interesting concept!

I got through the first scene, but I'm not sure what to do at the 'end it please' scene. Is that the end?

This is definitely interesting. Great mood and great use of audio to heighten that mood.

I loved it. Really well scoped, and just about the right length.

The concept is interesting, but ultimately this game is too stressful for me to have any fun with it. I got pretty far, but I have no idea how far I was from finishing, and it became almost impossible to keep up. I am not the fastest typist in the world, but I think the premise makes it a little inaccessible. I'm not sure how the theme fit into things, also. The atmosphere is well done. I did notice a couple typos, but not so many that it seriously detracted from the experience.

I really like the concept and the sounds make it tense. Good job!

Creepy. Finishing gave me carpal tunnel.

Great idea, but it has some typos and I don't know exactly where the 10 seconds fit it.

"it makes you pay attention and, as weird as it can sound, typing can be immersing." Exactlty, really good experience ;)

Excellent and unique. Could perhaps make it clearer that the "please, end, no more etc" is the game over screen. It was truly stressful and you really had to read the words in your head. Never experienced a story where you actually have to act it out yourself. Amazing work!!

oh gawd. the game is quite innovative from my perspective. i really like it, but i am sorry, i can't pull myself to play scary games. i know that it seems silly, but trust me. i stopped playing amnesia after the first 30 seconds, when a breeze of air and some voices came out of a dark door. But from what i played, i have to say Great work :D

Good mood but i really have no clue what to do at the second screen, some sort of hints would be nice, it might just be me bing a dimwit, bit it makes it unplayable to me :I

Loved the tension and dark feel. I think I would have liked a cutscene (of text), or maybe having the devil handle the red typing, just to break up the long chunks of typing as fast as I possibly can.

It was very artful and enjoyable. I feel like your ability to make such an engaging text game would perhaps make you someone who would also be interested in Twine games.

Well done, and thanks!

Gets exhaustive soon, but immersive. Good work. Some typos still remain.

Wow.
Just... wow.
Got a little hard time understanding what I was supposed to do, but it's really FUCKING INTENSE.
Excellent job, very original.
...
Wow.

what an intense experience. impressive and highly innovative.

Wow. This was really great. I had some difficulty understanding how things worked (and that I'd "lost" at first). The stress from trying to type things fast enough while reading really seemed to enhance the text. This felt incredibly unique, and a great example of some atypical interactive fiction. I really enjoyed it. The only critiques I could give are more writing critiques, and I feel like I'm not really capable of doing that. Well done, and thanks.
