[FOUND!] Looking for second round of early beta testers for dark parser game

Weeks have passed since your husband went missing. Left alone with your only child during a blizzard, explore the increasingly unsettling rooms of the house to save your husband and your own sanity …

And uncover truths best left forgotten.

I’m looking for some betatesters to give very harsh criticism on my IFComp parser game, which is a dark story of memory and identity. Playing requires a significant amount of focus due to its disorienting nature, but the game overall should only take 3 hours - though single playthroughs should take 1 hour each.

CONTENT WARNING: Very infrequent body horror, gaslighting may occur depending on paths taken, some swearing, and deprecating comments toward the player. Fast flashing light sequences can be skipped if needed. References to death of loved ones are made.

You will either need an interpreter that is up-to-date with the Z-machine standards 1.1 (ie. an updated Frotz or Gargoyle), or it can be played online (no scrollback available, but transcripts can be made).

Please PM if interested. [UPDATE: Testers found! Thank you all!]
