*spoiler*
If this wasn’t actually meant as an illustration of how it feels to be addicted, then it is the most colossally accurate and poignant accident I’ve ever witnessed in my life. I don’t expect anyone who hasn’t dealt with an actual addiction to be able to understand it. That’s one thing I’ve learned, that unless people who have never been addicted to anything (and I mean real addiction here, not ‘I play WoW too much’ or ‘I’ve just got to have my coffee’) are willing to sit back and fully believe every word an addict or ex-addict says about their experience without trying to interpret it and try to fit it in intuitively into their view of life, they can never understand it. I’ve never been addicted to anything hardcore, but I’ve been close enough to understand.

Thank you for making this game. This is the kind of ‘mature’ game we need more of. It is a true shame that gamers have allowed the mainstream of their culture to be so completely ruled by petty censor tyrants that we can’t have experiences like this with more games.

Hey, I was trying to find your email as well, but couldn’t find it. Would you be ok if I adapted your game into a short film? I’d give you and your site a prominent mention everywhere :)

That was amazing. And very intense. I played all branches at least once, and the most even a second time after figuring out what she really was.

You are very talented, thank you very much for this great experience

This was really good. I liked the metaphors and how everything was really vague. Because that’s what life is sometimes like, isn’t it? Not everything is a straight-forward route to some determined destination.

Just played it from the PC Gamer cover disc. Weird but charming and very addictive.
I love the fact you havent gone overboard with graphics. The display and content are just right.
Also felt the length of the game was about right, maybe a little short but still good. In a way I see it as a song – short but delivering a feeling that makes you want to play it again.
Well done. I’ll check out the rest of your tunes and look out for the first ever game album!
