Reviews for "Once Upon A Life"
Heart warming and even thought provoking. One of the best flash games I have ever played, and I've been here on Newgrounds for a LONG time. I like how the old man seems to have died at the end, but that its still ambiguous. The voice acting wasn't overdone, and the voice actor actually sounded like an old man. The old man himself seemed like a whacky zany old man, but still some what realistic (as a human, that is. Who the fuck dual wields jet pack walking sticks?). Overall, you made me FEEL things, and enjoy the ride as I went along. Your focus on story was very nice, but the fact that you didn't throw away gameplay was nice. As a pro tip in the future, try not have photos and the like hidden in completely random places, I had to look up a walkthrough a couple of times simply because I couldn't find the stuff anywhere... Examples of this are the hay bale and the ice block, but at least the ice block made it obvious that the photo was THERE.
What a wonderful game...The voice acting, music, design, everything was so well put together. And the finale, I was near tears. So thoughtful, and while many of us here are young and have our lives ahead of us, we can all understand the concept of the end, whether it be of a life or our favourite book series. The end is a scary, sad thing, but it doesn't have to be. We don't feel bad for Harry Dicky, we feel happy for him, it's just that it HAD to end, and that's hard to swallow. A really deep, fun little game. Fantastic job.

Thanks for the thoughtful comments; very nicely summarized!
It's well made, and nice game. It's not a masterpiece, but still really, really good. I liked a story and message in her. It was worth playing
not so awesome
