Gestures Towards Divinity
Francis Bacon (1909-1992) was a British painter, infamous for his use of brutal imagery and distortions of the human face and body. Well-known for both his violent subject matter and cutting wit, he is commonly considered one of the most important artists of the Twentieth Century.
This story is not about him.

So Far

City of Dead Leaves
There's nothing left in your life. There's nothing left in anyone's life. Will he even remember you after all this time? Will he want you back?
City of Dead Leaves is a story told to me by a place that I saw in a dream. As such it's a very personal thing; hopefully you'll find it worth your time. It's not a puzzle game, though it has puzzles; it's not a story game either, though it has a story. It's about cities, and futures, and feelings. About us.

Losing Your Grip
Smoking. It's been your bane for years. Despite your frequent attempts to quit, you still maintained a pack-a-day habit.
But that was before a friend sent you a newspaper ad. A drug company needed volunteers to try a new product to wean smokers from nicotine. They promised money and the chance to kick your habit within three thirty-minute sessions.
After what seemed like hundreds of forms, you were finally okayed for the program. Today was your first session. At a local clinic you were shown to an examination room, sat in a padded chair, and told to relax as much as possible. A nurse slid the IV drip into the back of your hand with careful precision.
It was to be the last thing which went right.
Blue Chairs
She turns and looks at you curiously. 'You're here. You really came.'
'Of course I did,' you say. 'What happened?'
'I was dreaming,' she says with a sudden, awkward smile. 'I was dreaming of monsters.'
The Life (and Deaths) of Doctor M
Your vision clears as you gently land in an endless landscape. There is the wind, a bleak and chill thing. And there is your sense of uncertainty: You don't know which way to go. Or, maybe, which way you went.
mr. leg needs some milk
Mr. Leg woke up in the middle of the night. Help him get some milk. One puzzle. Extremely short.
This experimental game was made in an hour and a half. The game is in first person and intentionally uses a childish, all-lowercase, grammatically incorrect minimalist narrative style.
