"Я придумал смысл, потому что не смог вынести его отсутствия".

Spoiler free portion: Loved the game, it's best to play it without looking into it at all. Very nice narrative piece and writing. Definitely worth the 10 bucks. Spoiler filled portion: At the beginning, I enjoyed the narrator, I thought that he was maybe a bit naive but that maybe this was a wholesome tribute to a dead friend (or so the story is, not that I thought this actual game was a real story).But as soon as we got to around the staircase area I noticed that he was a bit pretentious/self-absorbed and then started to disagree with him. Then, I started to think he was missing the point (especially later, as he put the bridge over the invisible death maze). Then, as soon as he said that he gave the games to other people, I genuinely hated him as a person and realized that he wasn't naive but horrible (especially well written). When I found out that he put the lampposts in the levels? Wow, that REALLY got me, such a corrosive personality. AMAZING experience, absolutely loved it, I could not recommend this game enough.

Игра проходится за часа 1,5, а катарсис после неё длится несколько дней...

Despite its messages regarding the vacillation of the creative process, the game is a work of art. How hauntingly cyclical.

вау, не знаю..., испытал такое чувство, даже не знаю как описать, непонятие и сожаление, впервые играю в такую глубокую игру. Люди ищут смысл там, где смысла нет
