The Despondency Index is a Z-code game by Ed Blair, entered into IntroComp 2011.
A walkthrough! Notes that beta testers existed!
A walkthrough I checked because, wow, really, over that quickly?
The game appears to be a detective-slash-(likely) magic or occult theme (Anchorhead-y?), set, at least in the beginning, in northern California, with a detective that may have screwed something up before the game began. The writing is solid and I already get a little sense of the protagonist.
I'd like to see more of this, I think. What's there so far is well done - so well done I was really surprised it finished so quickly. That being said, things that edge into horror territory need to be handled carefully, but they are a genre I like when done well.
