HOUSEKEEPING'S PROFILE

I tried to construct the game around the theme of perception. The endings stem from how you perceive either of the two characters, and your perception of them is based on the choices you make. The intent behind this was to have a choice system that got away from a strict good/evil dichotomy. With Chase, the choices all revolve around whether or not you view him as a friend. With Lily, the choices all revolve around whether or not you view her as an object. So, if you don't view her as an object (e.g. actually talk with her at the beginning, imply that you were paying attention in class rather than stealing glances at her, etc.), then she's rounded out as a character in the end. Otherwise, she becomes a horror movie cliche.

I'm not saying that this was perfectly executed or even a good idea, as this was an older game made pretty quickly for a contest, but that was my thought process going into this.

Re: the "bitch" comments, feel free to call that unimaginative writing, but considering the vibes she put out and the fact that she wants to sacrifice you to a Lovecraftian monstrosity (not to mention the age of the characters who use that pejorative), it seemed like the right word choice. I understand it's a divisive word, though, so I doubt I'll win you over on this one.
