Ummm, if this girl, can blow huge puffs of smoke out of her mouth in nearly seconds, big enough to activate blocks, and block lasers, then why doesn't she have lung cancer yet?

Just as I was about to go looking for how to beat the EHUP, I found it. If you blow a smoke ring, it will not reach, not matter how close you get to the no-smoking zone. So stand anywhere in that smoking spot, blow a ring towards the trigger, and run with the ring. It lasts much longer and I found this out by accident. Please rate up so other confused players can see this! =)

Guys. To solve the EHUP all you have to do is blow your smoke ring and chase after it, hitting it, giving it that little bump it needs to succeed. Hope that helps. :)

..anyone else get the feeling that this isn't just a game anymore? Like it's not just a story, but something that someone's actually gone through, seen, heard and touched?
...If this isn't real...kudos to the dev for making it such a visceral experience.

Just loaded kong for the first time today, and the instant I saw "prequel to The Company of Myself" I screamed with joy

This is my favourite game on the website - either this or The Company Of Myself. One of my favourite games ever. Probably my two favourite flash games ever. A million warm wishes to you 2DArray... Eli Piilonen, Ben Jelter. and David Carney. You guys seeeriously rule. Can't thank you enough for this beautiful creation. Life-affirming... 5/5 to say the very least.

I just have one request to the creator of this great game, while a character is speaking, can you please make them stand still? it's awfully painful on the eyes to track a word while it keeps going left and right...

Lol it took forever to load for me because of my retarded internet. I thought the game was just the spinning cigarette loading screen. But once I got to the game and finished it I thought it was a really great game.

Needs a "quality" button. A lot of new games are forgetting that, and my computer is a piece of crap, but I cant afford better parts, nor a new computer.
I started lagging my bawls off in the swamp area. Made the game a lot more frustrating.

If you make elaborated speech bubbles on every game-mechanic, like arrow-keys to walk etc., it would have been nice to do it with double-jump too. I mean it is pretty obvious you can walk with the arrow-keys and you can pause if you need; but not every game has double-jump. I was a bit confused first, waiting for Kathryn to tell me what to do. If you make the tutorial hold the gamer's hand, don't just suddenly drop it, please. (yeah, I know it's in the instructions, but still)

Fun game. The smoke ring mechanic was very unsatisfying to use though. Particularly there was one level in the swamp section that required you to blow 5 perfect smoke rings in a row with perfect timing, not messing up the slightest bit once. The charge and release mechanic of the smoke ring made that section feel pretty crumby, took more tries that it aught to have.
Otherwise though, fun game.

My All-time favorite lines:
Jack-"I can't tell if that is a belief or a coping mechanism."
Kathryn-"What's the difference?"

I found out how to complete the EHUP. Here's a hint: You can move smoke rings and make them last longer by moving into them. Good luck.

Finally got it to work although the rain effects did slow me down more than with the other chapters. But what's been said about the game has been said. All I can add after staring at the last image is: nice Jack has both a PSone and a Gamecube.

Wow that was really challenging! Great work and an awesome story :) The *only* gripe I'd have is that you should pop up some of the story before you exit the screen. There were a couple of points as I ran to the next level that they started speaking as I was exiting. Other than that excellent :) Oh and the ending screen being a box of cigarettes was a nice touch ^^

This is the first game on Kongregate that I've actually really enjoyed the dialogue. I've played MANY games on this site and given them all a fair chance but the ambient music and feeling of the game go really well with the story. I'm really enjoying it.

"It's not about optimism or pessimism. There will always be good things, and there will always be bad things. You reach The Meadow when both are acceptable." 5/5 and favorited.

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
