Teaching Is Hard... Especially At Night
VS STRANDED
These are the two story-first titles and they split on isolation versus crowd. Teaching Is Hard leaves you alone at a desk with evidence you keep explaining away, and the horror is that you are complicit in your own denial. STRANDED puts you on an island with five women who all react to everything you do, where the tension is secrecy rather than delusion. Both are slow burns; only one of them is watching you back.
