Passage, An interesting game.

I can name a few handfuls of things that have changed my outlook on life. This game is one of them.

Passage

The game details the passage of time we must all endure.

Id recommend playing the game first before reading this, as it explains its meanings and intentions.

Very insteresting, I'll have a look.

EDIT
Tried the game: Though after reading the story after reading the game, the creators seems to make life feel meaningless an not fun, maybe I am misinterpreting it.

Overall, I believe that it really did not make me think much more about my life, death is most definaly going to come for us, but why feel miserable over it and just try to enjoy it.

That was a very powerful game

Simple, and meaningful

I really liked it

The only problem with the game is its overly negative attitude toward couples. There are no benefits of being part of a couple in the game: you don't get access to as much, and when the woman dies, you slow down and die faster. Besides that, I think it's really well done and pretty powerful, even without having to draw some of the deeper parts of it.

You get double exploration points for being with a spouse, or so it says. It doesn't seem all that inaccurate at all. Also, at least late in life, if one spouse dies, it's not at all uncommon for the other to go shortly after. Certainly, you'll probably lose your independence if you still had it by then.

There's a score? I didn't even notice, or at least I didn't see it when I died.

lame game , really just pressing right for 5 minutes

You know you can move up and down right?

doesnt change the outcome

You're missing the point, it's not supposed to be fun, but more of a outlook on life than a game

Jason Rohrer, the guy who made this game. Made another one in the same style. Gravitation

It really doesn't click like passage. But its still pretty interesting.

This game... isn't all the powerful. Nothing in that game is anything new. We all know that the choices we make have good/bad effects in our life. Waste of my 5 minutes.

The music brought a tear to my eye, as I walked through the game it really just sort of clicked with me :>

I don't really care if it's "nothing new" or anything, the little 5 minute trot through life left me satified in an odd sort of way!

You're right! And everything you are doing now isn't going to change your outcome!

Now I'm depressed. Goddamnit.

Hey guys, let's ***** about a game!


Surely, that will change our outcome!

...an earlier death?
