this is how I feel in the real world, true too, its like, when you walk up to a group of kids the same age as you are, trying to make friends, this game is a perfect example of what those groups does when you approach them, even if they are alone.

very relaxing, and a great message. in a way, it kind of puts you in the shoes of the lonely and helps you empathize.

I don't mind quick 'games' that are essentially a simple point, but I think either the music was repetitive or there's something off about the sound. For the social commentary, I think We Become What We Behold was clearer and managed to put its components together better.

Dumbest game ever, if you could even call it a game; with it's annoyingly repetitive piano music, and, in the end; totally pointless.

It might also be that i am an mostly emotionless academic who seeks out knowledge and education above most else. Groups mean Skiving off. So Groups are Bad!

At first, I avoided the squares.
After I saw them fade, I hunted them down to force them to flee and disappear.
I felt nothing for the squares... I actually felt happy when they disappeared!
Is this because I am introverted?

Thank you for the powerful dialog you’ve created with this simple nongame. Your game not only made me experience deep and sorrowful loneliness, but also made me think about my feeling, observe all the stages it was coming through. At first, I was driven by interest. I was interested in knowing what will happen, if I approach the group. Then, I was driven by desire to test my luck. I approached every new group and tried to become part of it. Then I figured a simple pattern: every group I approach disappears. I started avoiding new groups altogether. But still, my curiosity was itching, so occasionally I approached them – only to meet same disappointment. Finally, I made a suggestion that eventually my dot will disappear – and this turned out to be true.

I find it interesting how many people either ended up ignoring the other dots or avoiding them. I did the same. It reflects on an actual practice we see with social situations. Outcasts learn to remain outcasts without attempting to establish relationships.

This was interesting. Near the end I didn't try to join the other dots anymore. I walked straight through the groups and didn't wait to see if they saw me.

dude its not meant to be super special its supposed to convey a message. but your view on it is your view "i may not agree with what you are saying, I will defend to the death your right to say it" Voltaire.

A Game that is so simple yet still gets the messege that people shuld value others as then you have a friend and friends bring happyness and joy and hapiness is a wonderful thing

This was me for about 9 years of my life, but after moving to a new place to learn I now have an amazing bunch of friends and a wonderful girlfriend, Thank you game for reminding me of how far I've come.

Why would you think that making a 'game' of hopelessness for children who complain about loneliness would be helpful?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I don't like games that don't show much. It's just an excuse to not use a lot of code. Trust me, if the dev really had a need to make a game about loneliness, then he would make the squares PEOPLE, not BLACK SQUARES.
Jesus.

i found myself in tears at the end and having a korean background made it more relatable to people this just shows that we should accept all and for those people who say this is a party game or it is just weird you are wrong this is a game based on a real person who had trouble making friends because he/she was different i don't know how it got such a low score i rate it a 100/5

It's not about loneliness! You are playing party crusher;). People having fun, but then you come in and wreck the party. Oh yea. It's funny game:).

*repeats to herself* "They're just squares, just squares, just squares... Please stop crying..." Saddest time of my life... 5/5
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
How can this game have such a low score, it deserves a 5.
It made me cry, and im sure it made others cry and it only used squares
