cool!
interesting device to show a codependent relationship
and the choices one makes to either linger or break free. I like teh endings
and the music. Great stuff.
Reviews for "Air Pressure"
Fantastic! Bravo! More, more!
From one creative story writer to another: Wow, that was so enjoyable! What a great creative mind you have - Do you/will you have more creations? ...Only 3 endings? Really? I'm going to play it through some more. With the choices, it seems there are quite a few different directions to go in this story. More than 3, for sure. (...well, I Think I'm sure-hee hee) LOVED it! I'm telling a LOT of people to come check out your fantastic work - thanks so much for sharing. I'll be waiting for more! :D

I played this before. This deserves to be played, and its great that Raitendo ported it to flash.

I think its a wonderful metaphore about adictions, not only drugs.
Okay so this is based on my experience. I don't think this is anything to do with co-dependence. In fact iI believe this visual novel only has 1 character and that the girl is a representation of self-harm. In the first ending I got he just stayed how he was and thought he was okay but wasn't sure; this paralells how some one who self harms feels they need to self harm to be themselves, because it reaffirms there existence. The second ending i got he got closer to her and felt terrible yet amazing at the same time, which is similar to getting rid of the feeling you're trying to drown out but feeling the pain that you've replaced it with, not to mention that you wake up in a hospital and the nurse comments on how you didnt cut on any nerves, asking what made you do it. The third and final ending i achieved was what i percieve to be the happy ending, after a long time thinking you come to the conclusion you need to stop your dependance and after an awful struggle you're finally free and happier than you've ever been.
If my interpretation is correct then this is why the game is getting my 5star rating, it genuinley resonated with me on an emotional level. of course i could be entirely wrong but either way this is a great game with very few flaws.
classic
