A (very short) game of spirit communication created for the 2025 Really Bad IF Jam.


Sunday, 12 November. Cheyne Walk, about half past eight.

Candlelight casts nervous shadows on the walls of the sitting room. Seated around the small lacquer table are Mr. and Mrs. Guppy, the medium Mary Marshall, and you: Gentleman scholar. Dreamer. Tastemaker. Armchair Egyptologist--

But enough about you. Tonight, you are here to contact your wife, taken too soon by an exceptionally putrid case of an unmentionable social disease. She died carrying your child. And now, you have a favor to ask.

Aww, not even the timed text could push it into the "bad" category? Glad you liked it, Max!

Tricky … I liked it, but if I liked it, can it really be bad?

Haha, dubious honor: too likeable to be truly bad! Thanks for playing!
