com__et

com__et has the exact right length to effectively tell the story it wants to tell (a common tale, really) and it manages to be induce a variety of different emotions, from silliness to a sense of horror. a neat little game! well worth checking out.

The idea is really creative and intesting! It's not so much about the story itself as it is about the way it's told, and this is executed really well. (I forgot to close the game so the play time is inaccurate, I believe it took me around 30mn)

It's pretty short, even for the low price tag. I'd only buy this if you either want to support these sorts of creators, or it ends up on a significant sale. That said, I love the game. Just, yaknow, wish there was more of it, especially since I paid a non-trivial amount to play it. But also because, again, it's a good game that I'd like to see more of. There's an appeal to having a condensed story that says exactly what it wants and then ends... But the 'gimmick' doesn't get to fully shine when there's only a single, narrow plot-thread. I'd love to see what the author could do with the idea over a longer game, with a more complex plot. And potentially more complex rules for how the secret text is revealed. But that's not the game being offered. Just me venting my frustration at having finished it so fast.
