I... am honestly not sure if I liked this game. This has never happened to me before. 4/5 for making me sad, happy, frustrated, and confused simultaneously.

I think that took all of five minutes. The most touching and thought-provoking five minutes of the past several months. I'd wish this was a feature-length production, if I didn't already know that you can't make it bigger. It's perfect just as it is. Any more or less would be an insult to the game, the story, the characters, the sacrifice... all of it.

Playing this game made me realise something, I don't think we can ever accept the reality of our little world changing from its semi-"perfect" and "regular" and "normal" ways.

I played this as a child and I realise why I should have played this again a while back to stop myself from not being like this person.

I've just realized something: the entire game is just an analogy, a metaphor even, for discrimination borne out of fear. Think about it. Why else would someone try to destroy something that they don't entirely understand? Because they're afraid of what MIGHT happen. What the military figures thought MIGHT happen is that the alien would stomp all over them, but they're too blind to see all it wants is to protect it's friends.
Everyone fears change to some extent, and that change may be gradual, or sudden, but unexpected nonetheless. Even so, there are some (like the family) who embrace change (i.e. the alien, the word also means "outsider"), and those who would seek to prevent it by any means necessary (the army), and thus, creative sparks are extinguished before they even have a chance to ignite (even in the line of duty). This game perfectly captures that feeling, and I love it.

i like how at the end, 3 people died and the last one (with the baseball cap) just left after looking at the aliens corpse. nope, he must have been like my sister.

This was a very nice and emotional game, and was based off of the times of vietnam. (I could tell with the farms and 60's looking planes). The alien actually cared for the family because of how they treated it, and showed so much story with no words. This is true art, please make more.

I agree with Arcran, expect I know that the Alien is not forgotten by the family, who could forget that giant hulking thing?

this is a very powerful and thought-provoking... I hesitate to call it a game. It's up there with other games on the site such as Gray, and The Majesty Of Colours, and further afield, The Stanley Parable and Papers, Please. This is an example of video games as artwork.

While Humanity slaughters itself, they bring suffering not only to themselves, but to the world. we have no right to do this. This is not game. This is art. We all love this brilliant piece of artwork, and it shall live forever in our hearts. This is what it means to be ImmorTall. Never forget.
This is on my playlist, Favorited, and is undoubtedly 5/5.

The more people that are lost, the more desperately the girl holds on to the alien, it being one of the last people she cares about. If enough people die, she allows herself to di and be buried in the snow with the alien. It's a beautiful game with many underlying messages about friendship and love. Amazing. 5/5

If both the parents die, then the little girl practically clings to the alien and the boy always stays about five paces behind the alien. After it dies, the boy just walks off and the girl stays with the alien, allowing herself to be buried in the snow with it. Holy crap, this is a deep game.
