Was the killer based on the DC Sniper? I also have a feeling that the guy in the beginning who waves at the protagonist, who can be later seen on the office building's roof, is the narrator...
Something I have to say about this work is that at least in my opinion the narration is somewhat misleading, the natural reaction at the beginning is that what is narrated is of a character that we control, the idea that a normal person can have thoughts that become more disturbing as the plot progresses and that he ended up doing something terrible. The turn of the story is sudden, so sudden that when it is happening there is no time to think until the credits are running, there is an equal violent disconnection of the controlled character and who was really narrating the story and then return with the idea that the narrator was actively watching the protagonist the entire time, which leads to more horrific implications that the victim of the event was premeditated. I made a gameplay that I share with Spanish subtitles that were made by me, so if there is an error in the translation, I would appreciate the comments.
The narrative is misleading on purpose. It's supposed to be a sudden turn. It's supposed to be disturbing. If you expected it then it would lose its emotional impact.
Great narrative, amazing flow through out the game. The game always keep you wondering what's going on. The game might be short, but is well made in both storytelling and gameplay.
I enjoy playing these well made games and Jordan. You are among my favorite indie developers.
This is a pretty sad game the music / soundtrack is great and the narrator is brilliant fits with the mood really well also love the pixel art style great game.
Is what I would say If I had NO taste or appreciation for dark artistic masterpieces!! Seriously this game is everything you could ask for in a dark, sophisticated piece of gaming art. Well done mate, and like everyone here I'm super keen to see more.... Sooo much more.

Este Juego me hizo entender que la vida hay que disfrutarla por que nadie sabe lo que podría pasar mañana,Si hoy estamos Felices mañana no sabemos.
I get it. I didn't get it at first but I get it. ;{)

This game has a very strong narrative & surprise twist which you must experience. All I can say is well done Jordan Browne.
I really enjoyed the games you made. They are some of the best short experiances I have played. Well done!!
Loved the narration! Not something you see often in this kind of game. Really interesting from start to finish. Brilliant work! What's next for you?

Great game total plot twist!

An intense and interesting take on the murderer concept, I've never considered it as an art, but this gets me thinking (disturbingly enough).
This is a pretty sad game the music / soundtrack is great and the narrator is brilliant fits with the mood really well also love the pixel art style great game.
I hope I found everything! I loved the narration and how it made me think what I thought was naught.
This game sucks....
