There appears to be a problem with the flash movie on this particular game; something seems to be set out-of-order and it crashes my Flash player when I try to play it. Shame.
"Protect" is on the powers list twice and if you arrange them alphabetically (i.e. put the two Protects next to each other on the list), moving to the second will immediately bring you back to the first and prevent further progression down the list.
I've added a way to reset the Powers list under [Settings > Reset > Powers]. This will clear your saved powers and their order, but should also fix the duplicate issue.
@Krzmrkzk, make sure your browser isn't blocking content coming from insecure sources on this page. Had the same problem 'til I told Opera to allow the insecure content to run, and the game's now working.
Probably-Not-True-But-Let-Me-Dream Game Theory Of The Day: This game is about how anxiety and paranoia will box you in by causing you to overthink and see things in the wrong light, effectively lying to you about the situation at hand and getting you into more trouble as a result. You have to learn to cope with it and move past it, taking your own strengths into account and taking a deeper look at what's going on around you.
I die because I actually really like this game...sure it's flawed, it's VERY flawed looking back on it, but I'm still quite fond of it and its sheer charm factor is more than enough to keep me happy.
@Ocsaleb The game was published in 2010, it's 2017. The game's almost seven years old. You don't know when nintendboy originally played the game so don't judge them for having some nostalgia for the game just because it "doesn't even precede the current decade".
