Very nice game ! I really liked the meaning of it. About difficulty, the puzzle part is nearly too easy I think. The arcade part (the third picture) is hard, but not too much. I made it in less than 5 tries, so I think it's ok.
Just one point about the third picture when you passed the mirror : You sometimes bump into an invisible wall without making appear blood written words, so you have no way to know if you are still moving on of if you are stopped. Making so you always display a word when you bump into a wall or adding a texture on the floor would help.

For the meaning of the game, here is what I understood :
You start in the present time with the wish of ending up your life and a lot of possibilities (the rope, the window, the broken glass). But you want to take care of few things before you leave.
- first picture : a trauma form your childhood
- second picture : a trauma from your teenage-hood
- third picture : I'm not that sure. Is it birth trauma ?

Thanks for nice feedback and so, will try to fix it asap! :) The words are supposed to show everytime but I am no good in programming :D Will see what can I do though.

As what goes for your theory. Well, you got it quite right! Only the third picture is about your fears and self-hatred. So obviously you need to beat that side of you. But than again, if you fix yourself, you don'n want to kill yourself right? And you end up stuck between choices :)

Couldn't achieve 3/3. I put the mirror back together (fix yourself?) and tried every possible combination: running away from my evil self, looking into the mirror, looking at my evil self, pressing escape button,etc. No luck.
Otherwise the game looked very promising to me and I hope I can finish it in the future.

i finished the game i like it alot :D to get past the last one you got to keep going and the words actually create abit of a path for you.

Damn, you made that flashlight awkward to find.

The weird brain room is an invisble maze, move in a counter clockwise spiral. In the first room you take the part of the mirror on the right, handle in the window in the middle, rope from the tree, and flashlight from behind the tree. Second room is just to go through. First picture on the left is for the rope and gain a flashlight. Second painting, put the handle on the window to move the girl. Then collect the battery in the junk. That will allow you to access the third picture.

This is where I got stuck and couldn't past the mirror part where you run around in a maze again. I couldn't find anything to collect, and the one time I did put the mirror shard back by looping around the enemy and doubling back it just reset the room and made me to it again... Don't know how to win, but got very far.

As for the game, the style is interesting and accurate for the idea of harmful self image. The instructions should have been show on the homepage. I don't even know about the last part and I didn't get to see the ending. Music sets the mood. 3.5 it is.
