How about at least a link to the game...?

(It's the only one in your profile, after somebody deleted the half a dozen screwed up entries for it.)

Well, I was intrigued. A 125MB game with voice acting, announced like this! I was in for a huge mess or a huge surprise.

It's pretty much a huge mess from the start. Correct spelling is non-existent, every sentence is basically alphabet soup. No puntuation, no capitalization. Nobody seemed to care.
Same for the backgrounds. The creator was lazy enough to not completely fill shapes if they were intersected by other lines and would have to be clicked more than once.
The voice-acting is pretty much useless because there's constant noise in every sample, and it's about twice as loud as the spoken text.

The rooms don't have exists or even proper backgrounds, let alone objects or detail. I was wandering to the right and had a few random room changes and encounters with other sprites. Nothing makes sense.

By all means, give it a shot. It's like the SpaceSpy guy made a game on an Atari 2600.

wow, trippy as hell :D

but not all are typos, if you listen close enough you will find out, that the speaker pronounces death as it is written, deth.

I gave it a try, but after a few minutes I came to the same conclusion as Khris: Complete chaos. Three lemmons.

If you couldn't be bothered to include information about your game, why did you start this thread?

EDIT: Thread unlocked on the grounds that the first post will be updated with sufficient information.

A few minutes? you are my hero....

After 1 minute of noise and no sense gameplay I must closed the game before my head exploded.

This "game" for sure set a record

I decided to give your game a chance. There's that thing about me - sometimes I love to play a bad game. I mean, a terrible game. And I usualy find some little redeeming factor that makes the expierience worth it's time.
Here's my little comment based on what I've expierience so far.

1. What I've seen
I don't mind bad graphics. Really. I don't even mind no graphics at all like in old text adventures. But here... well, here something went terribly wrong. Like:
- Character can face only forward (or backward, hard to say). And and so far only thing he can do is... moving left or right!
- If action takes place in a village, it would be highly recommended to include some elements of village's setup... Like, I don't know, cottages, houses, fields maybe. Big gray plane doesn't represent said things sufficiently.
- Sucking one's calf insade his thigh isn't very good representation of walking. Most people face direction they're going.

2. What I've heared
Good dubbing or no dubbing. Really, after first several lines I couldn't figure out what language they speak.

3. What I can't forgive
Spoiler
Short summary of the plot so far:
Two guys talk. One of them gets shoot. Grim Reaper appears (to take him? did he got killed by personified death? did the guy turned into Grim Reaper? never figured out).
Two different guys (miners? did one of them said they are miners?) enter spooky village (well, they say it's a spooky village - all I can see is a plane of infinite grayness with some minimalistic decoration behind). Guys part ways for a reason unknown. And then... ONE OF THEM APPEARS HEADLESS!!! Ouch, right, it's my character and his head is right here, hidden behind upper edge of my monitor. Let's begin our adventure.
I try to look around. Unfortunately the guy isn't very reflective about his surrounding - all he wants to do is to go right. OK, here we go. After rather long walk in this uninspired area we encounter the Grim Reaper again! Short chat with him (he wants to avenge sins of my father I guess) we... go right again! Our friend (the one we entered the village with) awaits us here. He's the first thing we can interact with. Well, almost. We can look at him to learn he looks weird and we should be careful. Why wait then? Let's attack first... Hand cursor + weird looking guy = no reaction at all. Right, right. You want me to talk to him. Mouth cursor + weird looking guy = yep, no reaction at all.
I gave up at this point. Sorry.

You have a lot of ambition, but would it really kill you to use spellcheck?

And about voice acting, have you considered any members on here to do it for you? There are a lot of talented people here that can surely assist you.

Mr somebody, please, please, please lock this thread so we don't have to suffer from this insult anymore.

Please refrain from flame-like behavior.

I'm going to leave this open for now, but if there's nothing left for people to say about this game (other than single sentence opinions on it's quality), I'll have to consider a lock.

How old are you ig299 ?

What can I say about the game, it's pretty much unplayable.

After what an urpney says:
Spoiler

You pick up the black thing (maybe a gun, who knows), click in the inventory (not where the graphic is, but the "first place" of the inventory (high left), use it on the other guy.

Then you walk and find another man, you can "kill it/punch it" with the thing, but if you walk you will get a reset.

Really I like bizarre stuff, but this is unplayable. heck even I liked the full of noise VA.
