The Maw
A downloadable game
CWs: Child endangerment; Unpleasant sensory experiences; Food, potentially rotten; Open-ended horror.
The Maw is a business card-sized horror game about sticking your arm into a terrible place. I consider it a post-lyric game.
You will need a refrigerator to play.

Truly excellent art game. This has been a game I've shown off to people for a very long time, now, and I truly remain shocked how much power it's got in such a small package. Short, artful, and full of dread. This made me understand the sheer breadth of what games can be
Thank you. I remain tremendously happy with it.
You did an amazing job!!! Everyone I've shown this to has been really struck by it. It's a very affecting work of art, and I'm glad you're as proud of it as you deserve to be <3
great game, love the concept
Touched a bowl of spaghetti. Terrible sensation. Would play again.
Do not like(in a good way)
hate (complimentary)
I love this so much as an art-game. The rule text knotted things inside my chest I didn't know were there. Going to have a hard time not thinking about this whenever I do open my fridge.
thank you! this was the reaction i was hoping for.
"Food, Potentially Rotten"
How dare you assume what's in my fridge!
