But seriously, good job. I liked the toying with the users available options. Kind of an exploration game about hopelessness. I got the alien ending on my second playthrough; Woot!

I'm surprised by the community's puerility in this. Does anybody even remember the Myst series? Cyan Worlds? Those puzzles required far more effort than this, people.

My biggest criticism is that the artsy part of it can instill the same emotional sensations just by being a walkthrough. The gameplay is not experimental, but the story/setting/idea is well executed. A great Art Game to be sure. :) It’s not bad, great work put into it and good pacing.

I wish more people would get the chance to "play" this game to overthink their own lives. It’s really just great.

It's a decent game, but there really isn't a grand statement being made here folks. I found the actual ending disappointing , considering that you can jump off the building at the very beginning, before you even go to the cemetary. Neat game to be sure, and very impressive that it was pulled off in 6 days. But it's a riff on death of a salesman people, not a landmark piece of art. Wow, some of you really got excited.
