As time goes by, the creepiness recedes somewhat and I'm enjoying having the story! As for feedback, I'm told that the creator will likely be doing an event at my local game store before long - I'll certainly tell him if I have the chance to meet him.

I don't know that I'd have been up for much more Dead Friend right then, but the game was nearly over, and getting through the epilogue was a nice bit of closure. (Then we played Poetry for Neanderthals to lighten the mood!)
