This was a really good game. Thank you for making it. The Three Days pass much more quickly than I expected them to. Great Job folks.
Как в такое по своей воле играть?
hmmmmmm i think i kind of get what the game was going for and the intention behind it was nice but it was kind of.... confusing???? It feels like one of those corny things schools make to raise awareness for suicide, but it was written by an angsty teen on wattpad.

New Meaning is a poignant tale that was well written and doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities of mental illness and suicide. It’s honestly hard to see everything unfold but it strikes a clear, unfiltered message. A great visual novel, and it’s free!
*Spoilers (but it's a 15 minute experience so why bother)* This game is worthless. I was trying to look for games similar to "Doki Doki Literature Club," and I found this one. Don't bother with it. Let me explain why. First off, the writing is garbage. Too many pop culture references, horrible misplaced choices, inconsistent and sometimes pointless choices. This is a 15 minute experience that leads to absolutely nothing. You want to know why, because YOU CANT EVEN SAVE LUKE. The whole point of this game is to save Luke in three days, but no matter what you do, you can't save him. You get the same stupid ending every time. Music is...okay? It's just some piano notes and that's about it. Graphics are mediocre. Don't waste your time. This game is a sad waste of potential with meaningless gameplay that has zero replayability. I don't even recommend installing it despite it being free. I wish I could write more but it's so short, I can't say that much. Just find something else. This game is cringy, boring and pointless.
Luke Wilson olarak mı oynuyorsun, yoksa öyle mi? Luke, karanlık ve yalnız bir dünyaya biraz ışık tutmaya çalışan, mücadele eden bir genç, ona yardım edecek misin yoksa depresyona girmesine mi yardım edeceksin? Bu oyun çocuklar veya kolayca rahatsız olanlar için uygun değildir.
Very good meaning towards the end, amazingly well thought out. I hope you make more games like this in the future. Thanks you Austin(If that is who created it) for this wonderful and amazing story
This game really isn't very good. It is incredibly short, only has one ending despite the store description hinting otherwise and the game is really flat character development wise. Even for the price of free, I do not recommend it.
This game railroads you. There is no way to get a happy ending...and then to close with a plea that if you feel like to protagonist to speak to someone and get help even thought it won't even allow you to do so in the game. If the intent of this game was to try to show people, youths, children that there is meaning to be found in life, then they seriously ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it up because regardless of what you choose, or TRY to do, it always ends the same. That will not make people hopeful!
This game's plot is a good as Fallout 3's plot. 10/10, would name myself Adolf Hitler again. (This came to you from Steam Awards)
