Too much text. Ten chapters in I co pletely stopped giving a damn about the story and just skipped all the dialouge. I came here to play a platformer, not read a novel.

At first I thought that Kathryn was dead but playing this game, she was just going home! Jack after that must be he was all alone and never met her again! Oh...

The Company of Myself was extremely sad but after playing this one... Fixation destroyed me. And now TCOM is even sadder... Too many feels...

This is genius. Pure genius. Thank you for creating this masterpiece. It is beautiful from the graphics to the dialogue. Just wow. I am stunned.

"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.

That was as remarkably atmospheric and brilliant as Company of Myself. My heart literally plunged when I saw level 40. I could never forget that place.

From this point on, stairs are my worst enemy. But kudos on the story line, I played The Company Of Myself first and I'm glad I did because with each level of Fixation I play, I notice how things fit Jack in his game. It's quite sad...

I just played Company of Myself, but the ending still just-arhg!
My father works in a state psychiatric ward; the residents there are all people deemed too dangerous to themselves and/or to others, like Jack. (spoilers! well, if you played the first one you'd know anyway) A lot of them you'd have no idea why they're there, and in fact, many of them don't. He didn't murder her-no, he found her, dead. So he did what he could-he gave her a funeral, one that he could do, and buried her. That's what happened. At least, what he thinks happened.

God i **** wish smoke rings were a random amount of time to blow; or we had a bar to see when to stop fml its impossible to know

Took me time to realize that everything in this game is a metaphor. E.G., the lasers represent Kat's "internal threats" (life problems, stress) and she fixes them with smoking.
It's very rare to find games of this kind. Kudos to 2DArray for making these great games.

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.

Am I the only one who appreciated that the last level's music became progressively more and more like the first game's as it went on?

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...

I never thought a game like this would bring me close to tears, damn I hate yet love this game, brilliant and touching.

Level 2-8. Jack states that overdosing on his medicine can cause him to do things he normally wouldn't do or forget things. Sometimes both. He must have overdosed on his medicine again and that caused him to kill Katherine. That's also what made him forget about it...

The green box is the new refrigerator mentioned in level 36:
short and stubby, like a cube
has a lot of space
and...
"eco-friendly."

I played The Company of Myself before I played this. Even though the last level came as a huge shock to me, I should have expected it. If I remember correctly in the first game it said Katheryn had died, but did she really die once she jumped into the right exit? Where did that exit really take her? I noticed how Jack's exit was to the left while Kathryn's was to the right (taking from the top comment on the significance of exit placement). I also wonder if the art style and overall design of the two games has significance. This game is so much more detailed while The Company of Myself is very simplistic. My first guess is it represents the difference in mental state between the two. Overall it was a beautiful game that addressed life, death, depression, addiction, recovery, friendship, and love. It's a beautiful game, one of my favorites actually.

The last level creeps up on you. You think you're going to meet up with Jack later, and then the screen clears. Suddenly, you realize that you recognize this level, it's just the same from Jacks memories. But what is there to do?
Sometimes, life doesn't give you a way out.

I like this. It's like a totally different game but the story it's the part of The Company of Myself.
Congratulations.
