--Introduction--
Play as Cathy and explore two different dream worlds, one accessed through the Computer, and the other through the Bed. Collect "Objects" that will help her find even more useful Objects and unlock more worlds. Avoid the stalker that appears in the Computer world to hunt Cathy down. The Computer is not available until after you've explored and found some things in the Bed world.

--Secondary Use/Creation Rules--
All Let's Plays, livestreams, and walkthrough videos are welcome and appreciated. Please link to the official download in your video description. -> https://010nexus.itch.io/insulted

I no longer really feel that restrictive about this fangame. You may add it to an archive, I don't really care that much anymore. My only restriction is that you may never modify the files or any in-game data for any reason. No loopholes!

Fan art/fiction is welcome. But please do not create art/fiction with NSFW/R-18 subject matter. That makes me very uncomfortable.

KNOWN BUGS:
- Using Incognito during a chase has the potential to freeze the reticle picture in place as well as not spawning the Stalker until the Object is taken off, but otherwise the timer is still going as intended. Please be careful.
