Why the "z/c" button don't work when the game enter the picture of "Press O to begin"? They are OK in the control interface. The same problem happen in the window OS.
maybe this is some different version of islam (?) but in what sect does it say "nah fam js starve", like this really isnt difficult
I mean hell, its more a sin for him to curse every 2 seconds
Great! P8 file possible? Thanks
i'm muslim, same as the other commentor. this game is really good at capturing desperation and fighting between what you think is right and the complex circumstances you find yourself in, especially for how short it is. the glitching out and loud, incoherent noises when you stray off the path home are a good tool, and add to the ambience. nice job :]
thank you! i'm really glad my games reached you =)
wow... as a muslim, faith does feels like this sometimes. you captured that awful doubting feeling that crawls around in your stomach so well and so artistically. beautifully done.
thanks! i'm glad you liked it!
