The strength of this fiction lies in its subtlety. It's rather dramatic in presentation, building tension and dread with the deliberate pacing over a short subject.

Mostly, there's a factual, disinterested style which heightens the horror of the action - but when the author chooses to add a touch of drama, it's piercing. The interactive choices shook me when they changed tone, when the responses got more emotional and personal, I felt it.

You might want to try different attempts through this.

very detailed and descriptive. i enjoy the way  the animals represent metaphors and emotions. the desperation from the player’s  perspective to get out is written very well despite the small sentences describing it. i look forward to playing more of your creations <3

Nice! This is a neat subversion of the typical expectation in games that there always is a solution. (unless...?)
