my father's long, long legs by michael lutz

A weird tale. Some parts make use of sound, so this game is best played with headphones. One ending.

impeccably built suspense - a nightmarish mix of junji ito and neil gaiman's coraline, imbued with that rich soil that builds its core. also... i might never touch a shovel again. more eerie than outright shocking - but then again, you wouldn't use charcoal in the same context as spray paint.

It's been a long time since I've played a text adventure, but I remember most of the horror genre disappointed me. This, however? This was amazing, and was a great game to return to. I got antsy during the later part where we went back into the basement and I can definitely say that's my favourite bit. Fantastic use of sound and visuals and 100% creepy.

My only problem was the black background and white text, which really strained my eyes. But given the gimmick and story of this, I think I can understand why. Although... Maybe light grey text would've been less painful?

Review SummerLemonade~

09 Aug 2018

WOW. When I first played this, I was stuck before the basement due to technical problems -- the flashlight scene did not show and there was only pitch dark.

Anyways, the story is attractive enough to drive me back and find a solution. This time I used sub-Q instead of the normal web browser. (Clicked into the "IFDB listing" and found sub-Q) This time it worked.

And it's amazing.

Especially the long legs of the father at the end. Creepy, and it leaves room for imagination. It makes you THINK.

FANTASTIC STORY. It's a shame if you saw this and did not bother to try it.

The story is amazing anyways. It's really suspenseful and it gets not so good for me since I was stuck in the middle cuz of possible technical problems...the plot is very suspenseful.

This was wonderful! The writing was really nice to begin with, keeping details just vague enough to let your imagination do the rest, and really setting the tone so that once the flashlight effect came in and the sound effects triggered, it was wholly creepy and captivating :D

I love reading GOOD, captivating writing, and this was it. It doesn't give many answers--really just enough information to whet your interest--but it's definitely enough to rev up your imagination, meaning all the scariness is really of our own making.

Not too short, not too long either. I suspect there COULD have been more, but what's here is quite good, and very creepy. Definitely give it a read.

Review orich4lcumplus

21 Jan 2017

I came across this story many years ago -- in retrospect, possibly close to the time of its release. I had been meaning to read it again, and when I finally found it and did, it gave me the same chills it did when I first stumbled upon it. The writing is immaculate, the story a unique, vague, twisting tale of horror and suspense up to the last sentence. I highly recommend this to anyone that's a narrative-based horror fan such as I and has an extra five minutes to spare.

Also, a little side note, at the end of the story it shows inspirations for the story, and I see Lutz and I also share a mutual love for Junji Ito, a highly acclaimed and talented horror manga artist, and now I have incentive to read all of his mangas I've thrown on the back-burner after reading my father's long, long legs. Thank you!! :)

This game was so exhilarating. This game grabs you by the throat and squeezes. It holds you there wondering, begging for more. I have so many unanswered questions but for me that is what makes a fantastic game. I want more and I feel like this game could be more. I really enjoyed this story and I hope there are others like this out there.

Review AdventureText

02 Jan 2017

The story before the end was fantastic - a little slow - but nonetheless, interesting. It hooked the reader in with suspense and unanswered questions that needed to be answered. The flashlight part was very inventive and atmospheric. It really made the reader question their own safety, even if they are in the comfort of a couch. The ending, unfortunately, was very unsatisfying. The images of the legs were very well drawn but not scary. Even using jump-scares would have been better. In conclusion, the story was interesting and eerie, the sound effects (more specifically the digging sounds) were very unnerving, and the ending just didn't do it for me.

Review Littleuni126

30 Sep 2016

This was interesting at first but very disappointing. As far as I could find, there is no actual ending. I think you're just lost in the basement for eternity, as I wandered there for around 2 hours before giving up.
There are also a few glitches sprinkled around here and there. But other than that, this was very well written and made me curious as to why the father was digging but I can't forgive the fact that it ended with being lost in a basement, but even if that's not the ending I still can't forgive something so tedious would be added to a story.
The flashlight effect was really cool at first, but it quickly becomes a chore and gets really annoying.
At first during the story I was curious and excited to find out why the father was digging, but my curiosity turned to frustration when I got lost in the basement, my frustration turned to boredom when I wandering for an hour, and my boredom turned to blind rage when I was wandering for 2 hours. Overall this was well-written but not worth the time.

Review Ozzy S.T.

07 Apr 2016

Well done Michael, this is a very engaging story. It left me wanting to read more of it and understanding what the blip was going on with this troubled family.

Unfortunately for me, I couldn't reach the end because after a while all text would stop loading, no matter how many times I refreshed the page, or tried using the compatibility settings. I just got javascript error messages in place of new text. I suspect this is due to the browser I'm using (Internet Explorer 9). You might want to take a look at this issue.

Thank you for a wonderful story!

Review MisterPibb316

29 Apr 2015

This story will give you goosebumps (the really scary type--not the R.L. Stine kind.) It isn't really much of a game per se, though the decisions it presents you with add an intense amount of tension, and certain things (not going to say what) happen to the screen that make it even freakier. The ending was somewhat pedestrian given what the game built up to, but this is a really freaky (and delightful, if that's what you like) way to spend 10 minutes.

[Additional Note, in response to an earlier comment: I think the part about religion was thrown in as irony, given what the narrator ended up discovering.]

This game definitely got me a couple of times with its use of sounds, I do find the game very clever with how it uses a flashlight effect later on to emphasis on the story and emergin.

Review Alethea

13 Mar 2014

This was such a great story - having to interact with it (especially using the flashlight) to move the story forward was a lot scarier than turning a page has ever been. I have a friend who has started a publishing house specifically for works that combine good storytelling with modern tech. You might want to see about submitting something, so here's the site: http://zoeticpress.com/
The things I loved most about this story were that it came from a daughter's point of view (so many stories make male characters the default), that the sound effects were spare and very effective, that at one point my choices of highlighted text made me feel lost and blind in a maze, and that near the end I was terrified of what my flashlight would show. The end, by the way, was sublimely eerie with just enough resolution to make me breathe again.
