This style of game is wonderful - I really wanted a longer story, really dive into the meaning behind not killing anything through the lens of growing up and getting a job, as I believe the plot went? It's artsy and interpretive and I enjoyed it.

I think as a GAME it doesn't engage much with the theme - as there aren't any choices to make gameplay-wise it's entirely contained in the story, which is an important element of a game but I think can be weaved more into the experience the player has by interacting with it - so I feel like I can't give it a very high score in that regard but that doesn't stop this being a fantastic piece that I want more of. I'll probably be going through your library for more like this :D

"Getting rid of" a fly!? In my pacifist jam!? 0/10! Just kidding, it was cute. Reminded me of the old flash short story sites.

Developer
