Hey i know this story..........
I could be wrong... but isn't this the mythological story of Orpheus and Eurodice.... maybe not but this whole "go to the underworld, but you can't look back or else she goes away" thing is a helluva lot like that story...
Whatever, great game.
wow
this game is AWESOME!
Loved This Game.
It was pretty fun yet somewhat challenging...Was this based on something from greek mythology or something? It felt like it was when I realized your not supposed to look back or the spirt would disapear...the ending got me though..but overall good job XD
Question...
GuesstimateJones had a good idea about what the ending of this game meant, yet I can't help but wonder...
What if you manage to beat the game without dying even once? I'm just wondering if maybe it's not that he was daydreaming, but that he died on his way to rescue her and became a ghost himself. If anybody manages to do this, please let us know if it makes a difference.
Anyway, the game itself was fantastic. Starting over from the same screen when you died was a good touch. It would have been a little aggravating if you had to start all over every time.
Amazing
I played this game a long time ago, but am just now writing a review. I loved the connections to Orpheus and Eurydice. The retro feel and surreal atmosphere were impressive, and the boss was an interesting fight. Very good job!
