Meh, it was a bland game, nothing really special, not even the artwork.
Now watch I will get down voted because people think I hate this game for it not being "violent enough" (Even though the entire game is just people shooting.) The reason I dislike this game is because I don't find story-heavy games with the lack of gameplay fun. It is completely revolving around the story so I have no reason to play it again afterwards, besides if I want a story, I will watch a movie.

you may not be able to level up and defeat bosses and stuff, but it's a very touching game. at the end i cried :*( 5/5.

Playing this game in a library was certainly not the best choice - took most of what I had not to scream at the screen saying "IDIOT HUMANS! STAY BEHIND ME!" or burst out crying.
I must agree that this is a great game - I enjoy games quite similar to this, games which explore a more emotional and artistic side of gaming. Simply killing things or leveling up is boring - just as some people find this boring. Games like this give me a way to explore more things I might not otherwise get a chance to. While I can't say I had huge revelations, I find I'm not as faithful in mankind as I would like - my initial reaction to the boy after the little girl was fear. I wanted to backtrack - especially when the father came out. An interesting learning from a simple little game.
Amazing graphics, concept and beautiful heartfelt music. +fav for sure.

I wish I could have done more with my life.... but in the end I die protecting people from War.... Good game, sends a message that we should all think about and remember.

Interesting that even if you abandon the humans you still end up dying..... and a little disappointing in that regard. While it provides interesting social commentary the lack of real choice and consequence detracts from it.

@timmybus who said games are meant to be fun? I don't recall that being a rule of video games. The underlying message is so moving and it really makes you think. 5/5

i hate games that try and have a hidden message, games are meant to be played for fun, not some underlying message that will not change anything, stop being so dull games are meant to be fun

2nd ending: Once you grow up, return the way you came and you'll blast off of the planet. The people will mourn as you died, but it will not snow and they will leave quicker.

No offense, but while I do appreciate those "deeper meaning" games, it's only the ones that actually HAVE a deeper meaning that I can appreciate. This one felt very ham-fisted anvilicious in its message, which made it feel less like a deeper meaning game and more like a cheap quota filler disguised as one.

so sad that he dies if the only thing he wanted was to protect the family even if they are stragers and he can't come back to life 10/5

aah i love those games, not only because are unique and deep meaning, but lets the players get their own conclusions and meanings... such games always have something to teach... even thought it is no stated ^^ im glad people do this

That was sad, not the saddest game i've played, but still very sad. All you idiots that don't understand because you have the thinking capacity of a peanut, may as well just shut-up and go jump off a cliff for all I'm concerned.

I would have liked the extraterrestial to survive though. There could be a sequel that could basically be "E.T go Home".

As others have said, you must be "open for new ideas". Not a typical game but it still is good. My only complain is that it it way too short. A game as good as this shouldn't have an end.

beautiful... just beautiful, once only the little girl survived when i died and she just sat there with me like she had nothing to live for
