The Director's Disorder

The Director's Disorder was another recent free single-player psychological horror game I tried recently.

You are Coal, an actor that has gone to your grandma's house and are tormented by someone as you try to sleep through the night.  It's a terrible "director" making you do terrible things, like desecrate your mothers grave or cut off your finger -- logically you resist but I couldn't figure out a way to progress without leaving into the woods and eventually dying.

On a restore game I just did everything the director wanted me to do so he wouldn't shoot my grandmas dog (asshole), including burn down her house.  There was a montage at the end that tells you what an asshole you really were, hating your sick mother, cheating on your pregnant wife, stealing from needy children, your drunkenness creating unsafe situations for everyone - and killing someone in a hit and run.  You were at your grandmothers house to hide out.

Kind of decent "shocking" twist I suppose ... I had to fight through the denial in much the same way someone this messed up might have to.
