I played this game straight from start to finish. So really good on part of the developer. Really nice game and fun and made me think.

i always pictured the last level (spoiler; where you die) to be a little more dramatic, with us saying goodbye... forever, and kathryn sacrificing herself. i watch too many dramas

Pretty, sad right now. Finished "The Company of Myself", loved it and then excitedly searched for the prequel only to find that I can't past the loading screen.

I really wish the meter for blowing circles stayed through out the game, I found the start of level 4 insanely hard because blowing three in a row is hard.

The smoke ring mechanic is pointless, why add it in, it just adds extra complication and serves as frustration if you have to start over a puzzle because you couldnt get one smoke ring right, atleast keep the damn bar from the first level in so you dont miss it.

SPOILER ALERT!
When I saw the last level, and how it was the same level where Kathryn dies in "The company of myself", I started screaming. I saw it coming, I just didn't expect it to come so quickly. And then the thing at the end where Jack finds himself in a room, uuugh... I'll need a moment.
PS, What happens to Penelope?

It's really interesting to see that some of the levels, particularly the ones in the Meadow, are direct callbacks to certain levels in The Company of Myself, usually the most important ones. Which was cleverly done, but also kind of depressing. 5/5 stars for fantastic puzzles, fantastic writing and also the slow degradation of my ability to hold back tears.

Really good, but that smoke ring mechanic is awful, it that first level in the cave took me ten minutes because I couldn't form the damn rings

This game feels like Cyanide and hapiness. So many good times and then there is one week (at this game one point) when its depressing. Great game. Loved it. Wish to see more if Kathryn died. And if she did how does Penelope can handle? 5/5

@thedog So, go to the right side of the puzzle. Shoot the smoke ring at the switch, then immediately run after it. You'll give it the necessary speed it needs to reach the switch.

I really liked the game overall. I wish you would make another like it. I think this deserves a lot more attention than 'The company of Myself". I liked the calm puzzles, most of them took something you usually would have to do and threw it out the window and made you really think. The story was very intriguing as well. 5/5 Good job.

Beautiful, developer is an absolute genius, the game was so sophisticated, so well thought out, it's a work of art. The game is a perfect blend of intelligent puzzles that really challenge you, and story that makes you clench your fist, laugh, and cry at the same time. Such a great game, I love it it is my absolute favourite.

This is the saddest puzzle game I've ever played. I'll never forget this and the company of myself. The last level, I could'nt bear not seeing the resemblance of the level with the company of myself. Loved this game.

This is deep. After playing 'the company of myself' and playing 'Fixation' afterwards. It all makes sense. It all makes sense now.. wow..

Is it just me or does the rain get quieter when you take shelter? Anyways, Great game! I still feel like there is a missing piece. Kinda seems uncharacteristic of Jack to kill Katheryn but I guess that's what drugs do. Makes you do something you normally wouldn't.
A very great game. I really liked the idea of smoking to solve puzzles and I think blowing the rings was cool but could have been a bit easier like using a different button for it but I guess that would decrease the challenge. But yea, 5/5 I think. Great music, great story, great concept.

This is a great game. Unique mechanics, great story telling, decent art style. But I do have a couple of critiques. First, I do not think this game should be a prequel to The company of Myself. The guy's magic trick, plus the ending feels like it was just added in to connect the two games together when Fixation would have done well as a standalone title. Maybe utilizing the magic trick more, or focus a little bit more on the ending, since the ending of Fixation and the beginning of The company of myself do not match for me. The other critique is that some of the in-game mechanics were not explained well, becoming clear in the swamp area where you have to turn everything on to advance, or figuring out the EHUC (since you don't explore the required mechanic anywhere in the game) Other than that it is a good game (would have been better as a standalone title) and gets a 4/5

that moment when you are at the later stage and goes to the right path then realized that it's the exact same stage in the company of myself when jack kill kathryn...

The title of the song during "The Meadow" sequence is citalopram, an antidepressant that can cause amnesia in overdose.
