What happened to the girl who was killed and the 19 who were injured in that shooting was completely unfair. Then again, there are many unfair things.
Dawson College Massacre!

Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

After thinking this over for a while I feel that the existence of the game is hurting a family that doesn't deserve it. Game or not it has reached the family and they are of course upset. I hope in removing the game from the net I help them get over the game and the pain it has caused them. I wanted to draw attention to the dark reality of school shootings and somehow make a game out of it, I never stopped to think that it could really hurt someone out there. To be honest I didn't care what anyone thought of my game till I heard her mother was upset over it. I will remove it for her. I just want to say sorry to the victims family, I hope you can move on and put this behind yourselves.

You can play grand theft auto, call of duty even halo but god forbid you play an even tamer game about some school shooting.
The fact your all acting morally outraged will only increase this games popularity ten fold.
I'm a bit a surprised to read in your authors comments because you said to have had no intentions on offending anyone when creating this game.
Because everything about it screams i want to cause some controversy but at the same time you were holding yourself back to avoid offending anyone.
I hate to say this but you can't have it both ways.
Your timing was a little off because the year it happened would have been a perfect time to release your game and give people enough time to get over the shock.
The fact your both four years late and the first to make a dawson college shooting game to get exposure in the mainstream media makes it all the more shocking no matter what you do.
The game seemed pretty much to be an attempt to make something within the horror genre.
It had some gruesome deaths but it lacked an atmosphere of feeling trapped and the only way to make things right was to destroy my tormentors.
You have to remember that even respectful works created based on school shootings also pissed people off.
Remember super columbine RPG?
The gameplay was not that great in fact if there was no school shooting it would just be another obscure flash game that happened to be violent.
you didn't know this was going to offend so many people? i saw my friend gunned down in front of me thank for making a game out of her death. jespere que tu meurs dla meme facon
Being a student who attended Dawson College at the time of the shooting and being someone who left from the entrance the shooter walked in 5 minuets before he showed up, I can NOWHERE near find any sort of amusement in this game.
Schools are to be safe places of learning and glorifying a person who went into a safe place, shot 12 people and killed one person (she could of been saved, but he chose to shoot her multiple times at close range because her boyfriend was trying to protect her and get her out) is unthinkable.
Just on a technical note, the graphics are horrendous and the game play makes it a joke.
Even if this was a random shooter, I would still blam it.
