Descrizione
This game takes you on a short journey though your own subconscious as you attempt to discover what causes the bystander effect, the average persons unwillingness to help in emergency situations.
This is my first real game, hopefully i'll be making better stuff in the future.
Come si gioca
WASD to move and E to operate doors and levers.

That was brilliant, was a bit upset it was so short as it left me wanting more, though I can understand perhaps not wanting to bite of more than you can chew if this is an early game for you. The voice acting was brilliant! The way this unfolds is very clever, at first I was angry because I thought 'but that's not me, why are you telling me what I'm like?' then you begin to get it's not about you, you're playing someone who would probably frustrate you if you read about them in the news. (or at least that was my interpretation) and you have to empathise with everyone, not just those 'directly' affected, otherwise you don't learn about the subtleties around the situation and how things could have been fixed or different. I appreciated the dark humour, too. The kind that makes you snort and feel sad all at once. Thank you very much, I REALLY hope you make more and perhaps longer games!
Thanks, I'll definitely be making more stuff soon. your interpretation is spot on, the whole thing is a reference to the Katherine Genovese murder and all the reasons psychologists gave for why her neighbors didn't help.
