Holy crap. This game is simple, but incredibly deep. Also a little hamfisted with the meaning behind it, but if anything it makes it all the more impactful.
The gameplay itself is good, allowing for the handicaps that you give yourself without making the whole thing impossible. An amazing system, really.
SPARE is about toxic people taking advantage of the kindness of another. Asking for more and more until you have almost nothing left to give. And then at the end, you find yourself faced with the fact that the other person was a liar. God, it hit hard. I expected the ending to be slightly different, but man, it still got me good.
I really enjoyed SPARE, especially with how short an experience it is, and it takes the metaphor of giving yourself away and giving it an almost horrific realism. Fantastic job dev.
