Passage
Best five minute thing I’ve done today? download and play Passage.
It’s heartbreaking, and has wonderful design and presentation. It’s also interesting if you’re interested in abstract representations of complex ideas, rather than standard literal interpretations. I didn’t notice until the right towards the end the weird effect that’s going on isn’t just a weird effect, but represents the life ahead of you and the life behind you.
I played the game a few days ago but was only slightly moved by it. Am I a cold heartless bastard?
The life-ahead-of-you and life-behind-you effect was a nice symbolic touch though I agree.
p.s. Isaac, the colour of the Name and Email field when first posting on here makes it impossible to see what you’re typing (white font on pale yellow background).
Just thought I’d mention.
Yep! I guess you must be! Then again no one else I know was moved by it either, so I guess its just me and the 99th.
Light yellow? The css & the computers I’ve tested it on say it’s dark grey. Send me a screenshot if you see it again.
Played it. Yeh I almost cried….when I realised there was no end boss.
