Chitin Creek
A downloadable game for Windows
Sensible folks don't travel Chitin Creek.
Chitin Creek is a brief piece of weird fiction presented in the style of an Atari 2600 game. The story focuses on a lone rider and their horse as they traverse a curious desert ecosystem along a shunned stretch of river.
This game has sound, but the effects are sparse.
Controls: Arrow keys move, Esc key quits, F4 toggles fullscreen.
Nice things people have said:
"[a] fantastic template for exploiting the medium's rich history to come up with something that's completely new, rather than a simple nostalgic rehash - it truly is among the best games I've played this year." - Alexander Had (via twitter)
"I liked this" - Terry Cavanagh (via twitter)
"like a short, simple Twilight Zone episode made into an Atari game, try it" - Kitty Horrorshow (via twitter)

Wonderful game. I played it several years ago and was struck. Thank you!
Now it's one of my favorite games!
Thank you! I love the thumbnail!
reject humanity return to scorp
wasn't sure what to expect but honestly super short and fun. scorpions give me the creeps so when it popped out i jumped. but overall easy but entertaining
I didn't get it at all, if there was something to get that is, but all round a fun weird experience
A great retro atari style game.
10/10
The experience of atari 2600 game.

Looks like a atari game. I love that style, I'm not judging. Good game.
A very interesting and short experience. good game
Bravo! You did a great job creating a play experience that has intrigue, weirdness, and nostalgia. Send more!
this broke my computer. everytime i type anywhere it has the same latency as this game
Don't worry, I managed to fix my computer. When started playing the game it had one second of latency, did you intentionally add that? If so, that may have been part of the problem. Other than that, sick game!!
Simple yet Elegant. No Spoilers but this game tells my life story.
Wow, what an interesting concept! Loved this. Art style, although simple, is really nice and pleasing.
