The message was never given a specific context, and as there are certainly historic and modern day contexts within which people find themselves battling between personal morals and the views of an oppressive government, I think it's great; especially so within the context of the entire game jam this was originally a part of.<br /><br />If the purpose was to tell the story of one character, it was done creatively and emotionally, however I agree that the general lack of "options" and exploration made this a little flat as a game; in terms of an interactive story and just overall, it was wonderful to play.

I honestly almost started crying in the part where you have to wake up and not click cry. I respect the "resisting oppression and authoritarianism" message, but the thing that I disliked the most was that when I clicked "rebel" while walking to work, I got punching noises. Is the message here that the most effective way to "rebel" is not impulsively, but in a thoughtful manner? Or am I reading way too much into that?Nat R.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568527495646751209.post-28110288288041577682017-03-22T12:59:02.805+01:002017-03-22T12:59:02.805+01:00This is not a game, it's an anarchists' me...This is not a game, it's an anarchists' message.<br /><br />If there were different outcomes; alternative routes available, then it would be considerably more interesting.

Internet Explorer is a discontinued series of webbrowser... so I would strongly suggest you switch to a more recent browser, if only for reasons of safety (so not only for webgl support) because it no longer gets updated. So I suggest you switch to FireFox or Chrome, or if you want to stay with Microsoft upgrade to their Edge browser.Barthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336207303797968961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568527495646751209.post-37505721348651733842017-03-17T01:33:03.886+01:002017-03-17T01:33:03.886+01:00Really want to play this, won't give me anythi...Really want to play this, won't give me anything other than a white screen. :/Elizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568527495646751209.post-79982842737988484402017-03-16T18:48:38.759+01:002017-03-16T18:48:38.759+01:00Powerful, thanks for sharing this!Powerful, thanks for sharing this!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568527495646751209.post-1079551641436766952017-03-16T14:39:04.530+01:002017-03-16T14:39:04.530+01:00So inspiring.
