Might as well be topical for once, while there is still time
ECTOCOMP 2024
The annual month-long spooky competition, with two categories: La Petite Mort (created under 4h) and Le Grand Guignol (the rest).
There were a bunch of entries, but bc of language skills, I’ll only be reviewing the English entries. I don’t think I’ll manage to review everything before the rating period runs out, but I’ll try to knock out as many as I can in the meantime.
sad that there were no French entries this year
No order yet, just picking with vibes
Also I beta-tested a couple of the entries
