Eczema Angel Orifice

A collection of messy, visceral, disturbing, hilarious, thought-provoking, uncomfortably intimate interactive fiction. Compelling, sometimes surprisingly beautiful developer notes. I'm reluctant to use the word bizarre to describe this, though it superficially is, because there's such a strong current of unflinching honesty and warm humanity running through all the surreal horror and manic humor that I don't really feel alienated by any of it. Buy this if you are a sick person with empathy and want to feel pleasantly corroded.

A personal review; great works affect one too deeply to offer anything else. And this, Reader -- this, I think, is a great work. I always appreciated literature; perhaps it was a way of finding representation that for me was not available in most instances of mainstream culture. Sometimes, I would find a fragment so relatable, so viscerally true, that I had to read it out loud. With most of Porpentine's games, I found myself reading aloud more often than not.

Very intense twine micro fiction / shitposts. Warning: I played like 3 different ones in a row and hurt my brain I think.

I don't understand how this game wasn't massively successful on steam? This is a compilation of some of the best interactive fiction ever written. You can buy this game for 5 usd and think about it for the rest of your life. Extremely underrated, steam makes it hard to find good games. If you are reading this review just are extremely lucky you found this game. Just buy it.

Thank you

One of the best video games of all time. Porpentine is a wonderful writer, and the notes given with every game are illuminating. Will take you around the world and not quite all the way back. I'm already fully conscious of the significance of those howling dogs.

just an absolutely incredible collection of work. damn. thank you porpentine.

pretty cool text adventure games
