I found this game very inspiring. In some ways reminds me of my own attempt this LD. Nice one Chris enjoyed it a lot.

Very interesting and depressing.

Interesting. Glad people are making games like these aswell. I almost wish the topic of loneliness could be tackled in an event that was not so limiting in theme :)

Sweet mood. Could have used less iterations of the loop; I got bored before I got to any sort of ending

Interesting idea. I would have liked it to have more variation after the third or fourth time. Other than that, I liked the sound and mood a lot.

@Danman9914 The loop is actually endless. Boredom is something I wanted to get the player to feel. Extreme loneliness takes away interest in normally enjoyable activities (anhedonia) and I hoped to get that tedium across (also a "quitting is the only escape" perspective).

This is a really bizarre. It gets really, really, really laggy really fast, though. Is there something you're forgetting to remove from the scene?

I got a headache from the lights if I clicked it too much. But it was alright!

Great use of theme. Very eerie

I liked the way you played with mechanics and the endless loop to really zone in on the feelings you were trying to express. Awesome work.

Wow cool atmosphere... it feels depressive ans desolate... good for the cold winter days :D Mood++

quite interesting! i like how you pulled this out of the theme

ryanmurakami 2013-12-17 02:51

very nice.

I already commented, but back for the rating. Love experimental games like this, and as said, excellent usage of the theme.

Interesting take, insightful and rather depressing. Well done with the sounds.

Interesting game I included it in my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/Sii3dnpSvEI

I don't want to say this game is fun, but it is unique, and does a great job of putting you in a different mood.

Rated highly for mood - interesting and unique take on the theme.
