The Great Dairy Reckoning of 3:17 A.M.: its title screen

It's 3:17 a.m., you're lactose intolerant, and there's a slice of New York cheesecake in the fridge. Tiptoe past your sleeping wife, the creaky board, the dogs and the toy building blocks; climb the fridge's shelves past the dairy come to life with all the willpower seven sticks of celery can give; eat it anyway; dash for the bathroom with the gurgle right behind you; then face the Devil himself, in leisure wear, sipping a milkshake. You have almond milk now. Shareware from The Sofa BBS, from the spoken piece by The Bard of Bizarre (monologue shaped by ChatGPT from Lewis Moten's prompt; recording (voice) made with Riffusion (now Google Flow Music); music and title art made for the game by Claude Opus 5.5).
