58 A queer village—in a valley, reached by a long road and visible from the crest of the hill from which that road descends—or close to a dense and antique forest.holy shit it's finished and it's short (even on my standards  ) and maybe a little creepy! anyway, i kind of lost motivation to work on this thing anymore, because it wasn't really going anywhere. so i just kind of threw something together.   DOWNLOADhave funs.

I've read Lovecraft's The Call Of Cthulhu and he uses the word queer a lot, and either Lovecraft is a huge homophobe or he means queer in another way, as in strange or different.
So, to clear this up, don't go making a YMCA game :D

Wikipedia says he was racist and anti-semetic, so I wouldn't put homophobia past him.

Lovecraft was quite the bigoted bastard, yes, and I doubt he took well to homosexuality, but as I understand it (not a native speaker), the word "queer" has a lot more meanings than just gay: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/queerSo I guess he didn't actually envisage some kind of YMCA party in this case. |

Yeah, but back then the word queer or gay wasn't really connected to homosexuality, I'm pretty sure he didn't mean it in that way |

That doesn't mean we can't read it that way.

"Queer village" by "PoliceDanceClub" Hmm Okay. Sounds like a 80s new wave song to me  |

I don't know, it is strange, and disturbing... Since it seemed to be your intention, I must say that you were pretty successful!  Also, people don't get raped in Lovecraft stories, do they? |

Very disturbing. The music and the abstract gfx is actually quite nice. Took awhile for me to understand that I needed to guide the big blob to the cottage. And the ending, well... It made me laugh... In a sad way.  Too bad you wont continue this. I don't have any hints where you could take it and the original idea from HPL doesn't really offer any advice. May be some hearding could be added? Get X villagers from A to B without having them or you killed. Maybe. Maybe not. |

I don't believe the game stuttered.
Man, if only you could turn back and go back to your village! If only you didn't want that whatever it is... I assume some sort of candy?
Oh, sick, twisted, funny fate! Why must you be so?
