Fausts Alptraum

Fausts Alptraum follows Elisabeth Faust, who enters her father’s antiquated house after his funeral, carrying sorrow and depression. In the basement, she follows a black cat and is suddenly plunged into darkness. A purple demon appears, smiling as though they are old friends, but the person Elisabeth came to find is nowhere to be seen. A sweet fragrance lingers in the house.

Escape the nightmare

The demon offers to show Elisabeth the way out if she truly wants to leave. With a candlestick in hand, she follows the faintest trails through the house in search of an escape. The crayon-illustrated story leaves it unclear whether what she experiences is memory or imagination.

A rule for remembering

If Elisabeth becomes nostalgic about her time in the house or wishes to preserve any moment forever, she loses.
