I really like this game.

I think the use of the circle accurately represents our state in society right now, symbolizing a never-ending loop, while the lack of background helps emphasize the lack of hope. The train is my favorite part by far; representing the blandness, and repetitiveness in the content of modern day advertisement. Considering the theme is beneath the surface, we know the idea of "Train" means something deeper.. or does it? The actual meaning behind the repeated use of the word "Train" clearly represents the same, worn-out messages we are told over and over again by modern day advertisement. The word "Train" is supposed to be bland, and boring, to help make this elaborate connection. And while the narrator is telling you the same thing over and over again, giving you deeper insight into the game, you wonder, "Is there anything more to this Ludum Dare entry?" The lack of knowledge of what is to come, and the feeling of expectation that comes with such an empty experience, epitomizes the underline message of all twenty-first-century marketing: An un-achievable happiness. For example: "Buy this product, you will be rich", or, "If you purchase our cologne women will be all over you!". It's something you can obtain; this knowledge. So props to you, Elstretchington, for standing up and saying one no one else was bold enough to say.

Hey man! What happened?
It seems to me that this circle means the worm which eats your brain.
Boy I love you - you will be more efficient next time ++

I have to give you props for still putting this up! And for what it's worth, your rant and train noises made me laugh quite a bit.
