Pretty amazing.
Really loved the story and concept. Animation could have used a little work, but overall excellent.

Thanks :) This was one of the few times when I got an idea that was actually complete from the start, so I knew exactly what I wanted it to have happen. I'm still pretty terrible at frame-by-frame animation though, and I guess I tried more just to achieve atmosphere than to get all the motion smooth. Oh well.
Fuckin' A.
This was great, probably my favourite Newgrounds submission of 2012 yet. While the quality of the animation wasn't great - merely passable, though impressive for something done over only a week - the story really stands out. I really loved the use of facial emotion; the radical difference between the hauntingly fake expressions portrayed on the masks, and the actual faces of the characters, whose uncovering actually feels somewhat unexpected and mildly shocking.
You sir rock !
I really liked it. Nice concept, not bad art. Thanks !
Not bad
I have to say that was some fucked up world with those masks, but I liked the end. It was bit dull, but it looked like that it had to be that way.
Nicely done.
I love the message it sends to the viewer. Person vs. Society is shown throughout the flash and shows that it is capable of breaking a person down mentally as well as controlling. Very nice flash! I enjoyed it.
