Woah

I had a quite unpleasent feeling when I played this. Wouldn't it be scary hearing voices telling you what you are, what to think and what to do. To be alone in a dark and cold place where everything seems to be dead. Yes, everything but "Someone" is dead.

I tried to act as if I was in that situation. I decided to do whatever the voice wanted me to do, in hope to get some sort of reward. An empty soul was my reward.
I played the game once again to see what happened if I did not do as the voice was telleng me to do. A slight brighter, more colourful future awaited. This time I really hurted someone. Someone, who was enjoying to see me getting killed. Someone who loved to see me sad.
Could this "Someone" really love me?
Could someone who loved me really take advantage of me like that? This someone just wants to make fun out of me and kill what is left of my soul.
The voice keep telling me stay with him/her, that this "Someone" actually love me.
"I beg you to stay." the voice said, but I didn't. Would you?

I liked it!

I liked the this game idea. I ended it 3 times. This game makes you think, which is a BIG +!!!
So, if you choose to do what he/she/it? says, you'll get rewarded, making the world more detaled. And so you get first ending stage. But when I finished game obeying, i thought that i actualy lost sth.: my personality. I become mindless pupet, what i din't liked :/
Going the second, "not to do", way makes world less detailed (and annoying imho :P), but more "colorfull". It was my first option and i think it was the right one.

This game (i think) is all about beeing yourself or not. Depending which path you choose you always loose sth. or someone.

There are still some parts that i did not understand, but mayby I'm not that experienced, eg.: when i was called man in the end.

It's like MSPaintadventures with keys vs. guns:

Ya gotta pick the opposite option :)

I went into this game with a very negative bias: How badly my Best mate's girlfriend is treating him right now and how badly my ex had treated me.

It benefited me greatly with the mood of the story, as I started off with one key thought: I am no-ones puppet. I do what I want.
The more I "failed" the brighter the game got, the more colours...

The key to victory is failure.
All my 5 r belong to this mind fcku because it made me think. Hard.

Good, but

I don't really get it. What is it a story about? What is the meaning behind the world being revealed if you obey and distorted if you don't? It was a fun game though, the only thing I didn't like about the controls is that they were a little bit slippery and it was sometimes hard to land in precise spots. Not a big deal though since the game is pretty simple. I did it both ways and I don't get the significance behind either ending. Maybe it's just because it's 4am, but I wish I knew what this is a commentary on.

Good attempt, message unclear

The platformer aspect of this is great. It is smooth, controls are responsive, etc. It could use more levels, higher difficulty, etc. but since it has a message, it may or may not be possible (you want people to finish).

As far as the message/art attempt goes, I don't get it. I chose man, and had varying behavior throughout the game (some disappointment, some "good girl" rewards), but I didn't understand how my actions affected the game or message. I chose "go" at the end and walked down the hall. It said I loved you, but I have no connection to this game, nor the person speaking.

It's very confusing because if you choose "man" at the beginning, you don't play as a man, you play as a girl. But then its all confused and wrong because if you're telling yourself what to do and you contradict yourself, and then abuse yourself, well... perhaps this game is about being a schizophrenic, but nothing really makes sense.
