Blind and Stumbling
So, this is an exploration of OTC deliriant abuse that is not meant to glorify or condone the use/abuse of such things. None of the actions in this work of fiction are recommended. I'm of the mind that even when diphenhydramine is used as intended, it is a bad idea due to connections with dementia/alzheimers (still a lack of research on this subject but do your own digging and come to your own conclusions). Still, this is a topic that has been on my mind for a while now and what better way to start a dialogue than a decker game. This story, as Tolkien would say, is about what all stories are about: "The inevitability of death."

very good work but i got a bug i think, where certain dialogues repeat, not sure why.
now yer gettin it! (Loved it. Awesomesauce!!!)
This game is... a trip, a very very bad trip on drugs
that it do be :)
This immediately scared me into checking my daytime flu medicine for diphenhydramine with how succinctly you convey the genuine, non-sequitur delirium of a bad drug combination, even the ones you thought might not be safer for being OTC, congratulations.
This brings me much joy :) love the bloaty gif!
seems so cool but the font is not dyslexia friendly, i wish i could play it :sob:
I'm going to make a b/w monochrome version in the future (busy sadly) with a bolder/legible font. i want my incomprehensible nonsense to be accessible in some senses at least.
A unique visual novel exploring the experience of drug abuse, filled with surreal, dream-like moments and cruel realities.
Definitely a standout and memorable game.
Thanks for the kind words and additional exposure!
Holy shit! I just watched your playthrough and it is amazing! I love the commentary (and your narration/voice) and anyone who is reading this should watch and follow this dude! Thank you Carvo!
Well thank you for making such a cool game to make a video of ^^
This is so beautifully made. I'm gonna be thinking about this for weeks
Thanks for playing and the kind words! That means a lot to me!
｡𖦹°‧⭑.ᐟ ｡𖦹° Great job ! ｡𖦹°‧⭑.ᐟ ｡𖦹°
Thank you!
Exquisite! Ecto-mauve peptobismalite sublime. A total rabbithole experience. Animations, font, sounds come together in a fever catabolic collapse.
(BTW there seems to be a thing where using Dialogizer on card "view" causes the dialogue to repeat twice. In this case it only added to the madness)
Thank you! I noticed that issue and decided to leave it for that very purpose. Happy accidents and whatnot!
