Of Birds and Bees

There's a wasp asleep in a titanium box in the basement, and that's about as normal as this game gets. It reads like someone handed Lovecraft a copy of the tag list and told him to loosen up.

Melanie has an imaginary friend called Mr Bumblebee, a box she isn't supposed to open, and a horror that follows her from her waking life straight into her dreams. Whether that horror gets worse, and who ends up circling her while she's vulnerable, depends on choices left entirely in your hands.

You play through Melanie's unraveling as a visual novel, picking which routes to chase and whether to step in before things go wrong or let them play out. The game tracks its own point of no return, giving you a real chance to stop a bad ending before it lands rather than finding out after the fact. No prizes for guessing that stopping it isn't always the option people choose.
