I use to play this back in school with my buddies. Good times. We never got past the 2nd boss but today, I completed the game.

ok apart from the chills that i got from just the ending scene alone i f*cking love how funny it is that somebody essentially went "orpheus with a gun" and proceeded to make a entire game about it thats most of the game

The randomness in keyboard responsiveness makes this a pain at times, yet overall the game has a nice touch to it.
For everyone wondering: The dog has to be shot in the back thrice, whilst the big boss has to be shot in the head about five times. For what it's worth, I found the dog to be harder than the big boss. ^^

I love the game. Not only isit adventuress and entertaing but sad at the same time faved 5/5. Games that include art and philosophical are always amazing and emotional games...... my favorite kind.

Fun game! Attempted to do a no gun run, but had to kill both bosses, a bird by the time-disappearing bridge where a ton of birds spawn on both sides, and two of the 6-armed creatures that you can't jump over. And a poor spider died when the final boss died, but I didn't kill it directly.

Awesome! I have to admit "Dragons_scorn" for his idea. Kongregate definitely needs a new category for this kind of game. There are a lot of sad and thoughtful games around here which get lost in the sea of flash games in wrong categories. 5/5

the game design is 100% vintage, about trying the only possible combo, love it, as it remains easier than some of the nightmares I had back in the days. Good work!

It didn't take me long to beat this game. I recognized the Orpheus reference early on, and I got really into it after that.
The ending caught me off guard, but it was incredible. So sad and beautiful. It made me weep.
This is certainly one of the best games I've ever played.

... I can't tell if I'm damaging the dog or not, and I can't tell if the dog is supposed to occasionally go through the barrier that damages me but not him?

genuinely one of my favorite games, I think about it years after I've played it, with how simple it is and how effectively it gets across the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. The ending broke my heart. Love it

So I finished the game, went back to the start and found myself, after all that quest to save my girl from hell. Mindblown!

Note: the dog boss can be killed in three shots, it just has to be from behind. Probably because when you shoot it from the front, he eats them. Anyways, this is a great game, and I hope their will be more like it.

good game 10/10. unfortunately, my computer isnt the best around, so it lagged a lot and wouldnt let me jump when i wanted to sometimes, but i still enjoyed this game a lot

It's the story of Orpheus. Going to the underworld to save his love and not being able to look back to see if she is actually behind him.

This game went deep into my heart. To not having the ability to look at your loved one must be heart-braking, and then discover that it was all a dream made up of your longing to the person you so desperatly need... Real sad and beutiful. 5/5 and fav
