Love the story but the game itself is way too hard......It's basically impossible win the game without a walkthrough.

The story is rather weird. Why do people cry about it anyway. Its a story a lonely dude,I bet the person who likes it has also the same story in his life. the gameplay is fun though.

I think Jack is a schizophrenic, and the "ghosts" you make by pressing the spacebar are the voices inside his head, or his "friends". He suffers from the "negative symptoms" of schizophrenia. The green barriers, which he can't go through, represent how he is lonely, and needs someone else, like Kathryn, to aid him. The pink barriers, which he can show how he is used to being alone and can cope, if only just. I won't say about the box and flowers, that has been stated before. The murder, well, I'm not sure, maybe his "friends" told him to, or (as Kanacali said), the police have got it wrong, she dies naturally and he couldn't cope. The music, when you first hear it it, is beautiful, yet slightly haunting, but when you see the ending, it suddenly feels like the saddest piece ever and you want to cry. A lovely perspective switch from 2DArray. This game gives my heart a sinking feeling every time I think of Kongregate, it is such an emotional presence, undispellable. So very sad.... 10/10

If you don't get the point of the story, the entire storyline is the visit from the Psychologist. The "challenges" are pictures and objects shown to him by the Psychologist which he has to explain what it feels like and means. He's explaining to the Psychologist that it's like how his life used to be except that he's doing it all by himself instead of with Kathryn. He then goes on to explain about what happened with Kathryn, but it's unsure of how she died, probably with a challenge they did together. The green box at the end of every challenge signifies the box that he had to find to put her into. The flowers that you spawn at/checkpoint are the 2 flowers he put next to her grave. Personally, I think she died a normal death, and he just put her in the box and buried her because he couldn't handle her death. But that's just me.

I was so disturbed when I realized (thanks to Kanicali) that the green box was really the green coffin-esque packaging. 10/10 Most emotionally impacting game ever. Amazing story. My greatest wonder is whether or not it's based on a true story...It very well could be.

This is literally the best in-browser game ever made. I don't need to reiterate what the others have already said by way of explanation, but I do want to reiterate that this game is beyond incredible. Probably one of the most sublime games of any kind I've played.

Also, him entering the green box at the end of every level probably signifies that he wants to be dead with her, and buried with her.

This game makes me sad. I am pretty sure that the guy is innocent. He probably buried her before anyone knew she was dead. When people found her grave, they assumed he killed her and buried her so there would not be any evidence. The psychiatrist probably just doesn't give him enough time to finish the story.

To finish the last level, just spam a bunch of clones, but keep pressing over and jumping commands for a few moments while you fall, and eventually you'll make it over.

@Audacity7392 keep cloning, and make all your clones jump in the pit. Eventually, the clones will allow you to double-jump to the exit

People are seeming having trouble with this.
Jack doesn't recall that he murdered Kathryn, despite what the records say. Which makes the conclusion that he murdered her.
She was found in their backyard buried in a green package, presumably that was the only thing he could find as a suitable coffin. Making the green box at the end of each challenge representing her grave also why he has a instinct to go into the door is because he wants to see her again.
He calls himself a loner, buthe is in solitary confinement in a Mental Hospital. The Psychologist says in his last report that he isn't to be released because in his state of mental illness he is a danger to himself and others.
So, he may blame himself for her death. But you'd imagine they'd have proof that proves he murdered her. Why, we don't know.
The spawn point flower represent the lone two flowers that he placed in her grave.
Keep it alive.

the story i got from this is that the man is a schizophrinic that is using his "friends" to help him through daily chalenges without real friends. The man's "friends" killed Kathryn. the flower represents the flower he gave to her when he first met her and the box is the thing that held her body

Idk man... I didn't really find it too sad of a story, I usually just play these sort of things for the entertainment not the story. Odd but wonderful 5/5
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
This game is truly one of the best I have seen, the emotional storyline and challenging gameplay make it one of the best I've played 6/5. The maker of the game is a genius

It is pretty good, but it has a few weak points. First, playing such a game in browser seems like an insult to me. It's pretty similar to Braid and I cannot imagine playing Braid in a small window inside a browser. And second, it is too short and we don't get to know the main character's thoughts too well, the script could go a bit further imho. Well, other than that, it's pretty nice - I liked the game part itself too, though again, it could be more complex.

This game was truely incredible. I have never seen ojne with such depth. Never one that touches what truely constitutes real life.
