"What kind of a cave has a no smoking section?" "A metaphorical one that's based on your current mindset?" Wow. That's deep AND hilarious.

My friends don't seem to have a problem with me blowing as much cancer at them as I can manage with my infinite breath.

A little something of significance...
In Chapters 1 and 2, wherein Kathryn's life is still a wreck, the level exit is always to the left of the screen, in direct contrast with the platformer standard.
In Chapter 3, wherein she begins to turn her life around, the exit is always downwards.
And in Chapters 4 and 5, wherein Kathryn begins to find happiness, the exit is always to the right.

Are you kidding me? No Quality settings? I can barely move in the Swamps. I can't even make a smoke ring. Really sad, wanted to finish and see what happens. But too frustrating.

The AI was horrible... On several occasions, I would reveal the button to be pressed, and they would AVOID it. They would only ever hit the button after restarting the level and doing the level again.

A beautifully crafted moody game. A stunning prequel to "The Company of Myself" without it 'cashing in' on the previous game's success. The ability of the girl is unique, as was the man with the hat in TCOM. Both are psychological , especially this one, and the game play is fun without being mindless, and the puzzles troubling enough that I WANT to find some way to crack the code and get to the next level without it being TOO difficult. 5/5

I really liked how even though its a prequel, the developer went with completely different aesthetics and gameplay, even following a different character. Its unexpected but it works much better than a "true" prequel probably would have.

SOOO ANNOYING trying to shoot smoke rings with exact timing! Totally unfun. No reason this game couldn't have used a key press or double-click for shooting a ring instead of a cloud. It really ruins my enjoyment to the point where I won't finish the game, and therefore the cool story is wasted.

beautiful story... very deep and philosophical... although the sarcasm towards literary analysis provides nice comic relief (ie metaphorical lasers, belief vs coping defense mechanism) lols.... i love the story line... Just for the story and music alone (the biggest elements) i woudl give this a 5/5... but the puzzles are very nice.. involves a little bit of timing (smoke rings) but anyone can pick that up relatively easiliy... the puzzlse themselves are rather unique as well, and the solutions are not overly complicated... Favorite problem is definately the ExtremelyHardUpstairsProblem of DOOM.. <3
overall 5/5, already favorited.
cant wait for the next installment

this game is by fair really amazing with the smoke being an ability, this could even turn into an action adventure!..and what made it more awesome/ realistic was that i was smelling smoke from out my window

I actually love this game!! It was nerve wracking enough to not be easy, and easy enough to make me keep pushing myself. Awesome!

Needs a "quality" button. A lot of new games are forgetting that, and my computer is a piece of crap, but I cant afford better parts, nor a new computer.
I started lagging my bawls off in the swamp area. Made the game a lot more frustrating.

O god, had chills all the way through the conclusion, was so sure it was going to merge directly in to the beginning of Company of Myself >_< especially with the 2 very memorable level designs. Was very sweet and happy and all, but personally would have loved it so much more if it hinted at something darker near the end there
