"I should try to remember my Grandfather's advice. 'Don't be afraid to pause the game if you need to take a break.'" I wish my Grandfather gave me that kind of advice.

At first I saw this as another new game to try, but the instant I saw it was a prequel to The Company of Myself, my life was complete

Dear everybody - aside from smoking, killing is bad for people's health, too. Yet you don't see anyone complaining in all the shooters, space shooters, FPS games, tower defense games, etc etc. It's a game. Get over it.

Really great game. The way character development works is just magnificent. I really like how the colors of the levels play with Kathryn's emotions. And I can especially appreciate the fact that (like Henry said) the lasers are just in her head and that when she is finally happy, the lasers won't hurt her anymore.

These puzzles are... inspired. Though I don't always understand it right away, things are extraordinarily clear after I've solved a puzzle. At no point did I feel the need to go to a guide; I just had to look at the puzzle another way. Fantastic work.

Hmmm, to me Henry doesn't seem like a great physcologist. He engages his paitents on a personal level, makes a few sexual references and discusses other paitents.
Also Fixation is a name of a theory created by Sigmend Frued to do with sexual attraction...

OH. MY. GOD. The company of myself is one of the most popular flash games on kongregate, but this game... it is TOO GOOD. HOW THE F*** DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS GAME??! It could be an indie game just by itself. HYPER kudos to you!

"Who is 'normal' anyway? Psychologists are people who have chosen to use their lives to help people. Why on Earth wouldn't you want to talk to someone like that?" That is a very, very good point.

Extremely deep and touching, with a beautiful soundtrack. I'll be showing this to my psychology teacher. You should put this up on Steam Greenlight.

I think that the messages could get improved. First, sepparate the chat bubbles in colors, as some people that talks with you is chasing you, they come from the same spot and you dont know whos talking. Also, while they are talking you are reading, and the letters move a lot while appearing, you can stop them by clicking one time but sometimes you skip that message because it just finished and you clicked. Sorry for bad english, im spanish.

With the Smoke skill, it's like your playing Company of Myself AND Spewer! Nice as always! There should be a note to don't do smoking, kids :p.

I love that you made a philosophical game with a sentimental and moral purpose. I think that made the game much more interesting and I found it much more desirable to follow through with the story than most generic games these days. I'd previously played "The Company of Myself" and didn't expect any prequel, but the connection just intensifies the meaning and I think you did a wonderful job. The ending was great as well. It leaves a sense of optimism that the game focuses on. This game seems like it could be a psychological thriller book. Great job.

This brought bad some of my own memories and almost brought me to tears, but I felt a little depressed knowing how it really ended after beating the first game and this. :p Great game, though! 5/5 and favorited for fun and immersing gameplay that managed to touch me emotionally.

Really, what an idiotic thing to say if it really was sponsored there would be a name on the cigarette, this game isn't funded by a cigarette company in fact it is literally against smoking!

to complete the EHUP you need to blow a ring and then run towards the button, you sort of drag the ring along with u and it gets the ring that extra distance. hope that helps =)

Y'know, if I had a psychiatrist following me around, I wouldn't give a dang about my psychological problems, I'd want him to tell me WHY I CAN'T PUSH BUTTONS!

Among all the graces this game possesses-- its story, its music, its pacing, to name a few-- I admire how it is not heavy-handed in dealing with more emotional themes. It shows how games can explore a complex narrative in a meaningful and interactive way. Truly a gem.

Jesus, if you think this game is promoting smoking then you've obviously not made it past the first few levels, or even the loading screen. Please think before you post crap.

The story is very sad...but also a bit ironic from the perspective of Jack. He took drugs so he would forget his problems but in the end it created more problems. It even causes him to sometimes forget he lost Kathryn, a person he loved and cared for quite a bit (not to mention it ultimately brought about her demise, although that was obviously indirect and an accident). It's even worse when you add the premise of "The Company of Myself" to it. Everyday he remembers and forgets everything that had happened and then goes through it all over again the next day. Quite a tragic story, yet still beautiful and heart touching. Thank you for making this game and writing this great, thought provoking tragedy.

If you use the cheat code to do the BotD, you cannot get the last badge. Using a cheat code disables the level stats.
