Reviews for Why this?

I fully agree

With the haters. Sorry. It had no length. no point, no 'playability', no replay value, no mystery. He's a sad dude, poorly drawn, who randomly killed his wife then forgets, goes back, and remembers. Wow. You still killed your wife. The music almost makes it worse. it tells the story before it happened, despite being an excellent tune. Good idea, but it's been done 100 times before, and way better than this. More effort and more thought into the next piece, and try to come up with something original and creative. You get a 2, because the music is really good, and that's the only reason.

Neat for a first shot. NOT front page material.

Cool music. Not really a game though.. your only option is to "go right" and then die. Sad music and sad trauma worked but no actual game play was developed.

It can't really be a game if there is no option of anything but "proceed" or "don't".

My suggestions would be, provide options, give player a choice to interact or choose something.

That was... Different.

That was a beautiful game. But how the he** did you manage to put 6.5MB to that? :D

Alright, but one thing really ruined it for me...

It was alright. Lovely music choice. I like pixel graphics, I believe it allows the player/viewer to fill in the blanks. It really bothers me that we have no idea why he shot his wife, why he forgot, and why he now remembers and regrets it and wants to kill himself. That might be "the point", but if that IS the point, it's not a very good one.

The thing that REALLY ruined it was the poor sentence and grammar structure. It took me a second to try to figure out what the character was trying to say. I was focusing too much on trying to figure it out and it ruined the ambiance.

This has happened too much on newgrounds. Please grammar check your sentences with a friend, or with Microsoft Word or something. Especially if you're trying to convey an emotion or a feeling with your game. You don't need the player/viewer to have to spend time trying to figure out what you meant to say.

I totally understand that english is not everybody's first language, but if you're making a game IN english, it should be written correctly.
