Outstanding.
As far as Newgrounds games go, this is definitely on the serious side, but it was totally enjoyable.
Usually, when you make a serious game, it ends up being just a lecture more than a game, but this was so open-ended that it eliminated the wagging-finger phenomenon that you normally get from games that aren't all about blowing things up or solving crap. Excellent work, great potential for this type of game. :)
Very good.
I thought it was phenomenal. Really left an impact; you don't really see that anymore. I appreciate the thought. Bravo.
wow.
first playthroughi treated her like a girlfriend, and i ended up in the hospital...WTF?!
SPOILER ALERT!!!!
second playthrough it hit me to read the other reviews and it made sense. it was a spoiler that made everything, ESPECIALLY the subject at hand the fact that he's an addict. i never really thought about addiction from the other side. how it feels to need something. akin to needing someone who you dont really want in your life.
Wonderful!
I love the metaphor at the end, The endings both saddened and made me happy. If I'm not wrong, then I'm going to guess Liegh represents suicide, or a drug? Even If im wrong, good game. Btw Vindik8or, Its a shame you can't enjoy this, and I don't think this is self indulgent because this isn't about him, so in that sense, You are dead wrong and you obviously think highly of your own opinion, which in this case isn't a good thing. Good Day to you, sir.
Well here's what i think...
After exploring the game around a little bit, you're right, there's nothing funny to it. It's totally serious, nothing to laugh about =(
I think you've portrayed the life of many people out in the world, however, and it shows just how difficult life can be, with decisions that change how you live forever. One path is just boring, but ensures safety. The other is exciting, but quite risky as well. This game is quite realistic, no matter what kind of interpretation others have of it.
Even though short, and hard to understand (=/), it pokes interest into your mind and makes you want to play again, and thats good.
