Guys this is final report, i rather like to think that they excused the Psychologists final report... but I often find it hard to excuse it.... LONG LIVE (THE COMPANY OF MYSELF)!! BYFAR THE MOST TOUCHING AND SADDEST GAME ON KONGREGATE!! :D

He considers her death to be the reason that he can't talk to people anymore. I suppose that in a way, he is correct.
This will be my final report on Jack. I don't find any reason to believe that he will recover from his current state of severe mental illness, and he is far to dangerous to himself and others to allow his release.

Iv been tasked with Psychoanalyzing Jack after his mental breakdown. In general, he recalls his life very accurately-the things he says line up with all of the records.
The first problem is he doesn't remember any of my visits. Ive talked with him once a week for the past eight years, and he always tells me the same things as if we never met before.
He describes himself as a loner, and this makes a whole lot of sense, as he has been kept in solitary confinement for the duration of his stay at the hospital.
He always briefly talks about his life, and eventually gets into the story of how he lost a loved one Kathryn.
He understands that she has died, and he certainly feels at least somewhat responsibly, but he doesn't recall that he murdered her. She was found in their backyard in a green package- Evidently, it was the only box large enough for use as a coffin that Jack could find. Also of note were the 2 flowers that he planted next to the makeshift grave.

This game is very deep. This game is probably creating a visual picture of what happens in life. Like how your mind, body and soul must be at atonement and harmony with eachother to be "complete". Kathyrn could be a symbol for friends, family and loved ones. Though they mean everything to you, you still have to move on and take it to the end. The green and red barriers could symbolize the barriers that we face in real life. Some things can't be solve with brute strength, pure knowledge or faith in someone.

All sort of feelings were brought to me, sadness, emotion,compassion, rage.
An awesome game with a beutiful story and concept combined with the music creating the perfect environment for the game.
It shows us how he really never overcame the tragedy loss of Kathryn, how he put her in the green box as her grave, with both flowers becuase he felt guilty for her death; instead of living, he survives, alone, trapped in is own memories, waiting for a day to be able to recover and connect to people again.
A really sad ending, being alone, with noone now to tell his story.
This game really got to me, I hope it did to you too.
Beutiful :3 , one of the best phychological and emotional game on kG.

The combination of storyline and gameplay here is amazing. I haven't encountered many psychological games such as this, and I'm glad I did. This is a new take on an old concept, that of Lemmings and Portal. The increasing difficulty and necessity of thinking outside the box (in order to get to a box, heh) is very engaging.

to all the people that say he didn't murder her, the game says he did at the end and also on level 17 shows he knows he is at least somewhat responsible.

the multiples of himself could represent the many times he has had the same "shrink" interview and bit by bit helping himself progress

The last few levels left me confused. The text led me to think that the last level was unwinnable and that I was supposed to start over, reach the flashback, and just not have the two meet. So I was rather annoyed to find that this wasn't the case and that I simply had to keep screwing with the last level until it was so flooded with ghosts that I could collide in midair and jump again. Repeated all the other levels for nothing...

Loved it, wish it was a bit longer. I'm curious of how she actually died; I don't think she fell off a vanishing platform into an abyss of sad music like we're shown.

@digitalmurder: Who says he murdered her? She was found buried in his back garden in a box. She could've died naturally or accidentally, and then he buried her in a state of shock and instability.

Maybe I would have a little more sympathy for the protagonist if he hasn't murdered this woman and stuffed her in a green box. Screw him. He can stay locked up in solitary!

Im stuck also, on the level with space shaped like a T and it says "what? dont leave yet. I have more to say. I really do"

I can't get past the tutorial level? Every time I walk to the green square, press space bar, and it restarts the level. Its restarted quite a lot of times, and so im done with this game. 0/5

So it appears that Jack actually at least subconsciously knew he was talking to a psychologist because in the end he says "the shrink leaves, and suddenly i don't even have a person to tell my story to anymore." Perhaps he did recall the shrink and didn't want to acknowledge it because he wanted someone to tell his story to and communicate with. It's sad that the shrink left, and that Kathryn died. This was a very emotional game, and it was pretty good.
