Wow, was really screptical when i entered the first room. But this conveys such a dense mood.
How am I supposed to vote on Fun and Humor on such an entry? <.<

rustybroomhandle 2012-12-17 07:25

Honestly I would be disappointed if "Fun" went anywhere above n/a or 1 star.

nusan 2012-12-17 08:25

Cool entry, i like the little text appearing when you "kill" !

jsmars 2012-12-17 13:28

Wow, not what I was expecting. Really moody and fits the theme, really makes you think. Good job! I almost don't want to know if the murders are real, sure feels like it.

uuav 2012-12-17 15:29

hard to vote game, villain ideed...

parapup 2012-12-17 15:38

Hmm? Kill the kids? x.x O.o

zenmumbler 2012-12-17 16:14

That was disturbing in a good way. My hat goes off to you,

edocentrique 2012-12-17 16:15

Innovating, an interesting point of view. Sure i don't think it's fun or humorous, but it's something ! (and also something original done in 48h ^^)

jomomomo 2012-12-17 16:22

You marched right up to the theme and punched it in the face.

rustybroomhandle 2012-12-17 17:05

@Rex Peppers I think you and I had similar reactions to the theme, but we dealt with it in different ways.

lassedissing 2012-12-17 17:34

Linux download seams down? I get a weird 404 error

poga 2012-12-17 17:34

Nice mood, nice idea. Good Job :D

fonserbc 2012-12-17 17:40

Strong, clear, simple.

pixelbear 2012-12-17 17:40

I started off wondering what I was meant to do, but I found myself wanting to learn about the character I was playing. Very grim mood, and that last guy had an important message. Also felt there was a certain subtlety about some of the meanings - for instance, the last guy blocking the exit. Nice one! :D

rustybroomhandle 2012-12-17 17:43

Volpes, that's because I am an idiot. I had the wrong case in the file name. I fixed it now.

sir_json 2012-12-17 17:46

Hm it's not an easy interpretation of the theme which you choose for your Game because of the events in the last days. But the Message you want to tell is important!

wukkopi 2012-12-18 09:49

Well this wasn't that fun to play, but this is very good from educational aspect. Makes one think, why do these things happen all around the world :(

atomic 2012-12-18 19:34

Congratulations on having the guts to do this! My first 5 on theme 0 on fun so far.

fishbrain 2012-12-19 15:25

great work!... the detail of the text descriptions really makes an impact.

cyboot 2012-12-19 20:30

Well that was really difficult to play and also not easy to rate...

cassio 2012-12-21 20:23

Dense game.

rhy3756547 2012-12-21 20:28

Very powerful game.

vilcans 2012-12-21 20:56

Wow, that's a hard game. The internal conflict of not wanting to push the trigger, not wanting to be a villain... but still that is the only way to "advance" in the game, forcing yourself to explore your inner darkness. I guess that's what you'd call art.

I didn't have the guts to do an entry like this, even though it was my first thought. (I felt bad when adding the children in my game, and those are just pixels on a collision map.) Congratulations for not chickening out!

wally2069 2012-12-21 21:07

I think this was a really important game to make about real life. As a side note, I think this game also demonstrates why the Humor category should be removed for the Mood category.

pighead10 2012-12-21 21:22

Touching

eatenalive3 2012-12-21 21:26

Very powerful. Gave me chills.

crashbanito 2012-12-21 21:53

After reading off the first victim's information, I was just stunned. As simple as this "game" might be, it's one hell of an experience.

jmaasing 2012-12-22 10:03

I think we broke the server, it does not respond so I can't download the game.

eni 2012-12-22 15:35

The links appear not to be working.

georgebroussard 2012-12-23 10:29

Pretty bad taste, I thought. It's not hard to do an entry like this. If you wanted to make a point you could have done the same in a number of better ways. Still, it's just too on the nose to be interesting or past the "dude, too soon" line, imo.

samoojamies 2012-12-23 11:16

I like the visual style. A serious game about serious topic. Good job!

rustybroomhandle 2012-12-23 15:39

@GeorgeBroussard How is it bad taste? It was not created solely to be controversial, it merely takes one or two aspects of the issue at hand and hilights them.

Yeah it could have been done better, perhaps in a more subtle way, perhaps with a little more "game" added to it, but bad taste? No.

And "too soon" is an invalid argument here. I'm not making light of the matter, just contributing to the discussion.

lekochen 2012-12-23 16:27

very straightforward and strong

spiridion 2012-12-23 19:04

I ran into a weird glitch where the mouse kept "escaping" the plugin window when I clicked to fire. I mainly mention this because the first time I shot someone the browser window disappeared and was replaced with another app I had running in the background. I was left sitting there for a moment wondering if that was the intended effect: you shoot someone and everything is gone. Of course it was just a glitch with the Unity plugin but, technical limitations aside, that seemed an interesting way to end the game....

rustybroomhandle 2012-12-23 20:04

Spiridos: Yeah, I forgot to make it grab the mouse when in windowed mode. And it definitely should not quit by itself. :)

dioiminik 2012-12-27 00:48

I can't download the File for OSX, neither am I willing to install the unity plugin, sorry :(

dioiminik 2012-12-27 00:48

I can't download the File for OSX (link broken), neither am I willing to install the unity plugin, sorry :(

dmilham 2013-01-05 03:10

Deep and painful. A depressing journey of self-punishment... Art.

azurenimbus 2013-01-06 21:32

Great job, man. I was very surprised coming in. I think you've handled it relatively well.

Beowulf1970 2013-01-08 14:11

powerful and disturbing.
