So, Mild Spoilers follow for Flesh, Blood, & Concrete - check the game out first. It's short and interesting. When we played through waxwing's Flesh, Blood, & Concrete* - which I have more to say about but later - I noticed some similarities to some other pieces of horror web lit. Namely, The Dionaea House. Depending on where you're at on the internet, it's probably more likely that you've heard of The Dionaea House than FB&C because the latter is a really cool cult hit for a small place on the internet and TDH has been around for quite some time and if you were at all into that kind of thing in the 00's you might have come across it.
That said, the differences are also significant enough that I can easily imagine it's be cooked up in a sort of conceptual parallel evolution. Considering the corner of the internet waxwing's in, I'd have to check or ask to be sure but FB&C is the kind of small art game that really deserves to be made.
But when I went to look up the site, maybe unsurprisingly, Dionaea is only on the Internet Archive these days. Most of the internet from that period is gone, suffering bitrot or worse. It's only around if someone saw fit to do due diligence and make a copy of it and it's rough to think about how so much of this stuff is so easy to make and let disappear.
Elements of Dionaea link to LiveJournal which was bought out and in 2016, was migrated to servers entirely in Russia, for a long time suffering degradation of quality of service. I haven't looked into whether those links work or what the condition is of the pages, or whether those too were archived. That's another interesting facet of the way Dionaea was conceived and I think that while it added an incredible verisimilitude to the narrative, it made the story inherently much more volatile. Now I'm pretty certain that the entire thing would be better constructed in a game format or visual novel which detracts from the kind of buy in you get from having the native layouts and functionality of real webpages add to the way the narrative is constructed and experienced but also makes it possible to keep it self contained and continuously accessible.
Anyway if you want to check on it, the link's here https://web.archive.org/web/20041030020221/http://www.dionaea-house.com/default.htm * https://waxwing0.itch.io/fbc
