This game really changed me... It's really good and worth the play, after you get all three endings, then play through it again whilst really knowing whats going on, it gets very emotional. I strongly recommend this game, its worth the short amount of time.

An interesting way of going about this topic. but it is a bit depressing overall. Which i guess fits with the subject matter. keep up the good work.

If you thought this was pointless because you didn't get it or because you've never thought about harming yourself, _this_game_is_for_you_.
It gives you the tiniest taste of how difficult it can be to abandon self-harmful behaviors (self-mutilation, drugs, eating disorders, etc...) It puts these things in a light that people who don't suffer from them might understand; unhealthy relationships.

I'm really lost on this. For someone like me who never even thought about hurting myself... sorry, I didn't get this game, I thought it was about relationships until the third ending. Guess it's just not for me.

Wow.
That was quite different. Short but quite interesting. I'm glad I checked the BOTD today. I'm sure I never would have played this otherwise. Not sure I can wholeheartedly call it "fun," but I am quite glad I played it.
Nice work, bento_smile and raitendo.

BUG REPORT. I UNLOCKED the first ending, but was never rewarded it. THEN after getting the other two - I got the achievement. might want to ook into this. also, the hospital was kind of err... suicidey?

Sorry, but I'm looking for games that are fun. Depressing stories about an unrealistic failed relationship are pretty much the exact opposite of that.

I find these games as dull as the idle games. Im not going to rate it because others that like this style of game would be a better judge of it. I just feel its not worth the badge

Here's a quick walkthrough for anyone wanting all three endings. Play the game first though and don't ruin the fun before trying this. Ending 1: Always choose the first option. Ending 2: Always choose the second option. Ending 3: Choose the following options: Go out Carry on … What are you doing here? Stay silent Wait… Its not unreasonable No I’ve made up my mind Make her leave

I really loved this game. So simple at first, but after seeing the static I knew something was up. Could only solve up the story with the help of the comments, and this game deserves a lot of respect.
The second ending is bugging my mind though. You can get it by either not fully completing ending 1 or 3 or making it's own route. And with that in mind... what does it represents? Enjoying best of both worlds? I can't really get what the dev meant with that.

I really like that there is no bad or good ending. Each one has its pros and cons and it's up to the player to decide which ending most fit him depending on his type of person.

I have some observations about this guy. First, he seems to either be in the Matrix or he's hallucinating...hard. Second, lets assume this chick is real. Seems like the line is drawn at independence for the most part. She believes he'll be lost w/o her. She wasn't offering to help this man, which should have been her goal after he confesses. Instead, she stands there smug in her assertion of his incompetence. That is never a good relationship to stay in. The moment she started getting smug, I was done w/ her and switched to the mindset of "get lost". I also found out, I'm very decision oriented. It took me too long to find the 2nd ending, cause I don't believe in flip-flopping decisions mid-way through. Great game!

You just won the UNDER PRESSURE BADGE. Play Feudalism II when you are ready for your next challenge: "Only A Flesh Wound" Badge. ...oh, how perfect.

There is multiple ways to get each ending so just poke around and see what you get. Each path adds more to the overall story. Just one little decision can radically alter which ending your gonna get.

blastvortex makes sense. the game is supposed to be an analogy for drug dependence, when in fact it works for any addiction or codependence. anybody who's been through it knows it, and can probably get ending 3 on the first try. does that make me an asshole? probably. am i ashamed of it? not at all. don't like it? kiss my fat, white butt. =p

Minor Spoilers.
So, after playing the first 2 or 3 scenes my memories of playing this the first time came back. I was very young at the time, and very naive. The girl seemed nice, so I tried to be nice back. Needless to say the ending left me very confused,a nd probably contributed to me forgetting i ever played it.
Now that I'm, older and can actually catch what's going on, it's a very different experience.

It took a while to figure what the story was about. The storylines were like puzzle pieces being laid out with each play-through. I liked how the story was descriptive and non-judgemental. Though I would have liked if there was a storyline where someone actually helped the main character. It was very sad to hear the nurse say: "Tomorrow the doctor will do a check-up and then you can leave."
I think the art and music can be improved by using more natural lines and flows representing motives to the theme. Maybe even make it hand drawn. I think that would improve the strength of the symbolism.
So, I give 2 stars for the art and music and 4 stars for the story. 3/5

I was treated for depression when I was 11-12 years old. It still lingers with me (even at 26) sometimes. But, self harm or suicide is never the answer, if you're stuck, find help. There's always someone to talk to.

I've unlocked all three endings, gotten the twist (it was the first ending I got, actually) but... is there more to it?

damn, as someone who deals with self harm and suicidal thoughts this hit hard. I really wanted to cry, but in a good way. I've been on kongregate for 5 years with many different accounts and I have never left a comment. This game deserved it. I highly recommend playing.

This game was deep. And also surprisingly dark. Also has anyone thought of an explanation for why it is that her image wavers in the second day?

I love how in ending 3 completely disregarding Leigh and forcing her out of your life allows you happiness and independence.
