I Can't Believe It's Not Exorcism!

After months of insomnia, you've tried everything: every pill, herbal supplement, special diet, every snake oil on the market. Nothing has worked. At this point, you're pretty sure you're just possessed, but you need your sleep either way. And, finally, the exorcism candles you ordered from a sketchy website ages ago arrive at your doorstep! Now, it's time to have a chat with the ghosts haunting you and convince them to leave you alone. Can you get the secret ending?

Made in just under 3 hours for Trijam #152, with the theme "Leave me alone!". Takes about 5 minutes for a full playthrough. Built in Ren'Py.

Please let me know if you encounter any issues! (Note that there is a known issue with Ren'Py web builds loading in Safari.)
