Great Cthulhu requests your presence in Her horrible Throne-Room. It would be wise to comply, GRAAAARGH!

ABOUT: A Very Hairy Fish-Mess is an interactive novella by Byron Alexander Campbell. It dares to ask the question: what if my unpleasant cat were really a hideous elder god of the deep? And what if She were the proprietor of her own holiday? And what if said holiday had its own magical realm, complete with majestic catnip gardens, zombie rats, and unspeakable amounts of tentacles? The result is a bloody festive holiday treat.

GOAL: Do not displease Cthulhu.
