Bogeyman Interactive fictionElizabeth Smyth

Bogeyman is an interactive story written, illustrated and coded by Elizabeth Smyth for IFComp 2018. Every October/November, the interactive fiction community submit their best work to be judged by their peers and the public, and out of the 77 entries this year, Bogeyman placed second!

Elizabeth's story is about what happens to bad children after the bogeyman takes them away. It's 30-45 minutes long, full of creeping horror and heartbreaking pathos, and can be read right in your browser. It's a genuinely stunning experience, and I *insist* that you click here and read the story.

Make sure to put your earphones in to hear the music!
