"I haven't seen anyone complete the EHUP in a very long time!" Well doc, when was the last time you met someone who uses tobacco smoke to solve puzzles that exist as a result of said individual converting life's problems into metaphorical levels in a game? That's what I thought...

I had to go smoke a cigarette while I was waiting for the game to load, apparently my cigarettes burn faster than my internet!

this game series teach us two things:
1. stay away from people who do self medications. they may kill you and don't remember.
2. don't do drugs. or you'll end up forever alone.

the way that last level mirrored the last with Kathryn in CoM...is so...damn...heartbreaking ;_; (was I the only person who hated his guts after that?)

To solve the EHUP, blow a ring directly at the switch and then run after it; you'll bump it and give it the extra speed necessary to reach the switch. =D

TCOM and this game, along with Starwish and some other flash games out there, have such a beautiful story line. I would pay good money for something like this just based on the story alone. TT.TT

I found a way to solve the upstairs challenge puzzle in chapter 3!!!!! To solve it, go up there, and go to the edge of the smoking area. Right after you blow a smoke ring, you need to jump over the gap and run as fast as you can, which allows the ring to be pushed faster by the wind you just created, which makes the ring hit the target. Upvote this so people will be able to solve it!

One of a few games that actually make me NOT feel regretful for the time I spent on playing them. Thank you Authors, playing this one was a soul-stirring experience (pretty hard though but hey, the story isn't exactly easy to digest either). Thank you.
Also: God I need that soundtrack badly.

Good game.. but for some reason the ending left me wanting more... I love that it fits so nicely with The Company of Myself though :D

*probably contains "the company of myself" SPOILER*
As far as I see it: Jack does remember Kath, he just doesn't remembering him meeting her this day, due to the effect of drugs. He doesn't remember killing her either. It has been much more than just one day, as far as I see it of course. He tells you about him meeting Kath in "the company of myself", but then he doesnt remember killing her either.
Somehow it feels like there is a large missing part of the puzzle to the story, even knowing the story of tcom.

I am used to having a harder time playing games with a touchpad laptop. However, I reached a point in the therapist's office where I realized that it was IMPOSSIBLE to finish it with a touchpad. The timing on the switches was too tight. As a result, I will not finish this game.

Fantastic game!!! Now I REALLY need to play The Company of Myself till the end :P Games with such deep philosophical and reflective content are so rare... plus, pretty and fun gameplay

game looks nice and seems to have a story but I'm gonna have to give you a 1/5 just for the smoke-ring controls alone. but the ridiculously low times on MOST of the switches Isn't helping matters any ether.

I like everything about this game except the ending. Jack went from an intriguing character to an Alzheimer’s victim v.v It kinda wrecked the intelligent mood of the game for me. 3/5 because of Jack at the end v.v I liked the other characters including jack and Henry, I liked how Henry at first just seemed like an uncertain guy but then it became obvious he was a creep. I loved the dialogue it didn't drag on too much and it fit in pretty well with the metaphors of the game's puzzles. In fact, I loved Jack's contribution to this game...the cutscenes.... bleh. His face looks terrible, I prefer the sprite model and the ending where he basically doesn't even remmeber meeting Kath.... that made me shake my head in dismay, why would a game designer basically brush off the main character? That's like brushing off the player as forgetable, or is that the message you meant to send?

Whoever came up with level 5-6 should really be ashamed of themselves. It was horrendous! It made me rage-rate the game from 5 to 1. Funnily right after that I managed to pull it off. If the ending was worth it, I may re-rate it... But my wrist still hurts :S
