The DEEP Dark [Maze][Worst VN/KN 2013]

[OokamiKasumi]

The DEEP DARK
A Children's Story -- kind of.

There is this big old house in the woods, and you get to explore it.

One Deep Dark night in November, back when I was in the third grade, my dad made up a story for my younger brother and I, about a Deep Dark house. This came about while my brother and I sat in the back seat of the station wagon, waiting for my mother to come out of a mall. Oh, and just so you know, my dad is a diagnosed sociopath.

This is my rendition of the story my father has long since forgotten.

This is a fairly simple maze game. Once you see all the rooms, the last room becomes accessible and in it is a surprise.

Fair Warning!:

• While there is a map, nothing is marked on it.
• The room images are from all different angles so it's difficult to tell where you're going -- or where you've been.
• Click on the Box to get the final, final scene.

• Version 1.5 - to account for Font error.

The game contains:
933 words, 28 menus, 50 images, and 14 screens.
- Despite the short (and repetitive) word-count, the game takes 'a while' to go through.

Original images from "The Library of Congress - Online Archive."

Enjoy!

I get a traceback error "Could not find font 'COCKTLI.TTF' " right after attempting to check out the deep, dark house in the very beginning.

Dad really enjoyed scaring kids. Really.
-- "The Deep Dark" was actually the tamest of the stories my dad used to tell me when I was a kid. He also had one called "The Golden Arm" that was similar in style to "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe. Try being only 10 years old and listening to that in the dark.
