This was extremly touching. Not only because of the story itself, but I painfully recognized my own thoughts in the first levels. :-( x2 . Nearly made me cry at the end.

I'm sorry, but Kanacali cannot be serious. A more simple explanation of the game could not be thought up. Of course that's what all of this means, it's stated at the end. And as to how Kathyrn died, Jack killed her. We don't know why. But it's stated that she did. I love this game, the soundtrack touched me.

A lot of people missed the five stars button. They probably just had a hard time seeing it behind the tears in their eyes after beating it.

when i played this game i never realised that there would be a backstory at the end. The report on the shrink and Jack bought me onto the verge off tears, and thats saying something because normally im not that emotional. When i play the game i had a small voice in my head making me a bit guilty that i killed her...even though this is just a game, but along with other people that may agree with me, i think this is an emotional journey. This game is very sad as others have said but i think its a good thing. Suddenly i feel that i need to show the world this story, i think this game eserves much, much more...

and I liked the way they teach the keys of the game, along with the story

Further along... I think the box, later on as the patient begins to come out of his head spin, begins to represent his thoughts of where his psychologist might end up if he doesn't come out of this psycho-babble as expected and the two flowers represent the life he and Kathryn share after putting his psychologist to R rest!

Discovery, The idea that this thoughtful heartfelt sentiment leads this one man to return to the coffin to put his hopes to R rest merely alludes to the idea that he can be cloned an unlimited number of times to reproduce the attempt at seeming sad, bewildered, lethargic! Merely an hologram, i.e. a false impression of sorrow to help men believe that they have any compassion or sadness at the loss of a woman.

Continued....
Like every man does, taking plugs from watermelons that he doesn't purchase that eventually become part of the fruit cup or watermelon drink of someone else's purchase because the sample did not live up to nor meet his expectation, until finally he settles for some other simply because they are all the same. His lesson becomes if the first would have rendered the same savor, why exhaust yourself unnecessarily at wanting more. The greatest nourishment is probably realized when it is most abundant and demands so little, but then I have only reached this second level of towering hurdles that contain pitfalls in between without any such sign of a story unfolding whatsoever, and so I have no proof that there is any reason to yearn for a box that unlike the watermelon, offers me no physical or psychological nourishment.

Presuming there is a story, it probably means what it means for every relationship that hasn't the capacity to sustain itself. It's the one that got away or the one that he couldn't hold onto or whatever made the relationship die. The green box represents the metaphore that a coffin represents at death. The last physical memory or view one has before putting the "life" within to rest. The beauty that is now just a non-contributory vessel, for which the "green box" becomes a shell. So now, his affinity with the green-box, once his approach to hopes and dreams, now just a manner by which he mirrors past footsteps until he has exhausted or erased what was once the pathway of his direction. It neither represents death nor mental breakdown, it is merely the discovery that what he once believed was contained within the green box wasn't what he thought it was and therefore withdraws his concern.

i do believe he really did killed his own wife..
rmb the challenge where the wife go to open the ledge and then he have to open the grey one??
subconsciously he know he did something and direct/indirectly killed his own wife which ultimately cause his mental breakdown.

This is a touching and unique game. I could play it over and over again. It's nice to see a game that actually has a story behind it, they are more fun to play.

Does anybody else think the storyline is really similar to Inception? I think Christopher Nolan must have a Kongregate account. Anyhow, it's a great game.

If you wait long enough at the "The End" screen a message appears: "The shrink leaves, and suddenly I don't even have a person to tell my story to anymore." So he does remember the shrink visiting, even though in the report the shrink says that he doesn't remember any of their prior meetings.... that's so sad :(

If you wait for a few seconds after the credits, you'll see "The shrink leaves, and suddenly I don't have a person to tell my story to anymore." So he does remember the shrink visiting, even though the shrink said in his report that he doesn't remember the shrink visiting. That made me cry. :(

I found a glitch. on the level before Kathryn dies, if you kill both of them instead of finishing the level, you can still press space and continue. great storyline tho and the only reason I noticed that glitch is because i have played through it three times ><
