Feels like you're playing the monster. Not a nice feeling. Game wise, this has a reasonably good and responsive interface. Theres obviously some story that's going on, not sure how deep you need to dive into this before the story becomes apparent.
It's interesting mechanically.
Yeah, uncovering the underlying story and what the heel are you doing there WAS the idea of the game. Thanks for playing!
This game really nails the mood of not knowing what in the world is going on, and when you reach the part where all your commands change names, your mind is blown. I had a great time with this! You certainly knew what you were doing all the way through. Even with the excess of dead ends. XD
I didn't get a feel of the "the more you have, the worse it gets" here, though. You definitely have it better the more things you collect (except for the small and large "creatures" you find, I suppose!).
Also, the ending was certainly great narrative-wise, but I'm only left with more questions than answers. Is the doom unavoidable?
The play on the theme was the realisation what is going on and nothing is what it seems. I was afraid many people won't get it. My idea was that you should use "look" on everything when you commands change. And yes, there's only one ending.
Thanks for playing!
