Ah, the apartment game was called Shade. Try it, it's creepy.

found on ifarchive, and playable via parchment: http://iplayif.com/?story=http://mirror.ifarchive.org/if-archive/games/zcode/shade.z5

i’ll give this a shot when i get off work in a bit, thanks!

welp that was definitely a bit surreal

i totally want to write a game like this now but i have to wait a while before i can think about it or i’ll end up just copying this haha

i super love games where things subtly change around you and you may or may not notice right away (or ever) — it’s a subset of how i super duper love games where the real human being playing it is actually part of the game, not just controlling it

shade was a bit more overt most of the time, but there were some light touches that made me do a double take

pretty short and easy, played it on my phone last night, probably a decent introduction to IF as well, go play it

(the author also has a deliberate IF intro tutorial game called The Dreamhold which i’m gonna give a try too)
