As well as all the symbolism above, I feel that the levels surrounded by dirt are symbolic of Kathryn buried in the ground. Also, just wanted to say what a beautiful game, very touching.

Man... I'm crying too! I usually give up on these puzzles games, but I saw one or two coments here and I really wanted to go and see the final report. And man... shiver, shiver, shiver! O: My god, this is a masterpiece... one of the most moving games I've ever played... and man, it was made with what? 8-bit pixels? That's just so great that I'm going to indicate to all friends! Congratulations... and you got a new fan, creators! O:

He was responsible for Kathryn's death. The psychologist says specifically at the end that he murdered her. This is more than noteworthy if you want to analyze the plot.

such attention to poetic detail...even at the loading screen it says: i am somewhat impatient, but i know the game will be loaded soon.

Why is it that all of these really beautiful inde games have depressing, twist endings?
its just like Limbo, Braid and a few others....

I'm often disappointed by puzzle games, even though I love them. This game was WONDERFUL. The story was perfect, the music was good enough to listen to, and the game itself was challenging and fun. All I can say is; I want MORE!

I find myself playing the game over and over every once and while because of the touching story.
Bless the creator, and please countinue to make these games.

Such a good game. I love the symbolism of each part. The flowers you start at being the flowers by the grave, the green door at the end being the green box she was buried in... Even the dialogue was a perfect show of what the story was about, in this sort of story telling narrative. I also love how the gameplay was set up, with you being alone, working by yourself, learning how to get through the challenges of life, then you meet someone that you rely on, that relies on you. Then the way you kill her. How you end up on your own again. How you have to learn to solve things alone. Really, beautiful work.

the level where he pulls the switch and she falls is when she dies and then the level where you touch the two flowers is the 2 flowers he put by her grave.

This game is so epic but its sad, the only bit that made me laugh was in the credits when 'JustinLovesPenis' showed up

If you pay attention to the levels, he feels he had to kill her to make it through a challenge he was facing, as if he didn't have a choice. Truly remarkable game, hope to see many more from the author.

A very sad story. This game is very moving and sad. It's like a movie, telling a great story with pictures and all except it's a game. Very touching. 10/10

I played this game right after my girlfriend and I broke up, because I thought a game would help take my mind off things.
Bad idea.

this game is pretty sad. the ending is a little shocking. at first i thought this game was made to make up to a girl friend so she would take him back, but i dont think thats the case. get to the end to find out what im talking bout.

Wow that's the most I ever felt from a game. The music, the levels, the storyline, it's all just so touching. Yet it's kind of depressing, but for some reason I like the depression. Wonderful game.

I think that this game shows how strongly the music can affect emotion. The story is good, but the music is what really make you feel it

The Player of the game (YOU) is the psychologist. The shrink. The very end - "The shrink leaves, and suddenly I don't even have a person to tell my story to anymore" - That's your cue to turn off the game. Are you still here?
