Keep Ripping or Die

Surprisngly wonderfully cartoonishly macabra, better for being willing to go dark. The setup was a bit cliche and I started to check out but then it gets wild. Narratively told from the perspectice of a heroine without a lot of foreshadowing or dramatic irony so surprises come from nowhere. The wrong choice deaths feel mean spirited (complimentary) and visceral. I liked this better than the Grandma's House books in the series (those were weird but veered into a safer campy terror that felt family friendly; less so here). There are 29 chapters or branching choices and each option has about three pathways. Sometimes I felt like the text tipped it's hand leading in a certain direction, 'we could go through the trees where we can't be followed or we could...'. Some of the twists while unexpected horror fun reek of trickery, I may have chosen a dark stairwell but the outcome is so unexpected one could not have deuced it and therefore some of the payouts felt random. Sometimes the narration somewhat spoils the wrong choice, 'had we gone down that path we would have...,' which feels like it diminishes replay/exploration. It took me about 2-3 hours to get through (run time also includes three 40-60 minute complete linear narrative options and a 4 minute bonus story). Decent fun.
