CONTRITION
“You know, I can tell you with about a hundred percent certainty that if there is a God in the first place, He doesn’t care about me.”
“Is that why you felt ambivalent about coming here?”
“Maybe so.”
You rest your elbows on your knees. “Well, I’m with you.”
“I think you’re in here with me.”
Contrition is a short psychological horror Twine game produced as a solo developer for Halloween 2020. When a priest takes confession from an unsettling stranger on Halloween night, the player must keep the stranger calm while navigating the priest’s own relationship with guilt.
