As you complete the installer, one of the best bits pops up: A checkbox with "Start Smoking" next to it :D

Hehe, that's was not intentional. Glad you noticed it!

Very interesting. I like the atmosphere. It wasn't a game but that's okay.

It wasn't really a game as such, more of a message you were trying to convey, but it worked pretty well. I think it's an interesting concept, but it would've been nice to be able to interact with more of the objects on the screen - I tried clicking on everything, but only clicking on the man did anything. That said, it conveyed its message very well.

Nice art piece. I really dig the atmosphere and the music. Amazed with how well you set up a mood with so little.

Cool non-game, although I personally don't like it.

I think it might be a tad late for that Mr. Johnson: http://i.imgur.com/qs0GbZc.png

Not much to comment on, but I guess the mood was pretty fitting.

Great little non-game. Love the "Start: smoking4"

Smoking kills?
Good music and atmosphere. I would have appreciate some interactivity, even for a non-game ^^

Thanks for your feedbacks! We plan to add mode interactivity and more objects in the scene, but we want to keep it simple, short and atmospheric. There is no particular message we want to convey. This is just the small story of an old man dying alone in his house, smoking his last cigarette.

more interactivity*

More art than interactive, but was quite the experience :)

While I like the idea, this does not actually qualify for Ludum Dare. The word "ludum" means "the game" and the game has to have play. A movie, as good as it might be, is not a game.

Other than that comment, the music is great :) Nice mood.

davidbox 2015-05-06 17:37

Thank you for the reminder. And thank you for "playing" :)

davidbox 2015-05-06 18:47

Your game is cool, by the way! It actually qualifies for Ludum Dare, since it meets the requirements to be called "a game".

Nice atmosphere. If you could get someone to do some unified graphics for this it would sell!

davidbox 2015-05-08 15:52

Thanks, we are working on an enhanced version with more interactions, like moving objects on mouse over, stuff like that... And maybe randomly generated scenes.

I like these "non game" entries. The mood was perfect.

m9josh 2015-05-08 23:39

Interesting non-game entry, great atmosphere and mood!

Great little interactive art piece. Robert Johnson RIP
