I watched the trailer. Is the movie good?

Here is mine. It's from the 90's.

I very much enjoyed this competition. On a side note, I felt a very strong language barrier. I guess I'm not prepared to fully express myself in English.

Ponch, you will always be the winner... In our hearts.

Baron is very good, but Sinitrena is the winner. My opinion.

[Best Character:]

Best Character: Sinitrena. Emily is very believable, even if you can't identify with her at all.
Best Plot: Baron. I guess this aristocrat style is unbeatable...
Best Atmosphere: Ponch, because the apocalypse is here!
Best Setting: Baron. How do you do this?
Best Word Choice/Style: Can't decide this, so I will agree with the others: Ponch.
Not My Cup of Tea, Either, BUT... : Sinitrena, no doubt. The only genre here I would never read, but it felt really compelling.

I would vote for Primordia, but I would still prefer it as a game.

[A bad joke]

Okay, I came up with this character and I simply HATE it so much... I hope you hate it too!

A bad joke

It started as a bad joke. I said to Mark: "The same you did with your brain: I ruined it, but I still keep it on my head, just for show", when he asked me what the hell I did with my hair. Looks like he was offended and told me to eat shit. I told him I was not into coprofagy, and asked if I was lying. Because if I said the truth, why bother? And If I lied, why bother too? What's the big deal?

But he would not think about it. He was offended, period. He said I take everything literally, and I said I don't even like literature. Then he went away. Sometime later he came back with a knife and screamed he was going to kill me. I disarmed him and stabbed him with the knife right in the stomach. He was bleeding a lot, and then he fell, like an animal. He was angry, and I couldn't understand why. I stabbed him with the knife some more, just to make sure he was dead. I was arrested and pleaded self-defense. No one believed me. They asked me if I didn't realize he was just kidding because he was only twelve. I said kids shouldn't play with knifes.

I was very calm, because it was all very logical to me. But everyone thought I'd better be in jail. I heard someone say I had the devil in me, and I said I don't believe two bodies can occupy the same space. So they sent me to the care of a competent institution, and here I am!

“Are you kidding?” said the other man. “This, a competent institution? Ha, that's a good one!”

“Anyway, doctor, I'm not taking my medication”, I said next.

“Why are you telling me this?”, he asked me.

“Because my vocal cords are…”, then he interrupted me and said: “Sorry, sorry… I MEANT to ask what is the reason that made you get to the conclusion that you should tell me this”.

“Well doctor”, I said, “I've been thinking, and I guess it's because the electrical stimuli in my neuron cells are…”, but he interrupted me again.

“No! No! Enough! It's impossible to talk to you if insist in going on like this!”, he shouted.

“But I am answering exactly what you asking, don't I?”, I asked.

“No you don't! You are wasting my time! Don't answer EXACTLY what I asked, answer what you know I MEANT to ask”, he said, visibly shaken.

I don't get it. How am I supposed to know something like that? Aren't they requesting me too much? If everybody knew what the other person means when they use a word, everybody would be happy, don't you think?

“So yerjust runnouta mentahospital, ishit?”, asked the beggar.

“Yep. That one”, I pointed.

“Whasdafoodlaike?”, he asked while preparing a rat in a spit.

“Better than what you're eating, at least”, I said, disgusted. “I think they just let me out”.

“Whasyerprobleem?”, he asked while chewing.

“Everything, and then some more”, I said.

“Holy…”, he cried, maybe because he got burned in the fire.

“Oh, it's not holy at all, it's psychiatric!”, I stated.

“And then you killed him?”, asked the officer.

“No”, I answered, very slowly.

“The man was found dead, you're the last person to see him alive…”, he interrogates.

“That's not true. He died on the ambulance”, I corrected.

“Okay… You're the last person to see him without any lethal injuries…”, he says, I agree, then he goes on. “So… What happened?”, he pauses. “Nothing”, I say.

“Nothing? You ripped off his JAW! Do you think it was an accident?”, asks the young man, clearly losing his patience.

“He asked me to”, I explained.

“ASKED? How could he ASK for something like this?”, the cop shouts.

“Talking”, I said conclusively. The man gets really angry and it's about to explode. “Easy”, says the other cop, “Let me talk to him". Then the older man turns to me and say: "What did he said that made you do that?”.

“He said he didn't want to be hungry anymore. He WONT be hungry anymore…”, I said, smiling.

*

“And that's why they hate me”, I told you. But you shouted at me and said: “Let me go, murderer!”. I told you I can't let you go unless you cut my face with this razor. You said you would do it if I broke another vase, and I did it. Now you have to do it.

“Why are you doing this? It was just a joke!”, you said.

No, it was a bad joke. I'm educating you. Bad jokes are bad. End of the story.

That is exactly my cup of tea! I hope I can send something this time.

Do ghosts also commemorate deathday?

Hey, What do you mean "depressing"?

I really liked the atmosphere you created in Symbiosis, JuaniT - look forward to playing your next game

Yeah, me too.

WOW!

Now I have to play from the beginning.

Congratulations!

Grim,

I'm so glad I didn't gave up playing it! I was so afraid the ending would be depressing, but it was perfect! The music was great too. I still didn't changed my mind about horror games, but i'm happy to say this is one of my favorite games. I could do it without the scary parts, but it is beautiful anyway. Thank you.

Hi everyone,

Following the idea outlined by Greg Costikyan, the Game Criticism group aims at offering critical analysis of games as cultural works, instead of simple consumer reviews. It will also contain discussions about game studies, game design philosophy, game industry and game culture.

To promote the group, we will be giving away free steam game gifts. The first one is this:



Follow the link to participate, help promoting the group, and good luck!

Good point. And beautifully said.

First of all, congratulations for the great success of this release. What follows is my personal impression.

I'm having a hard time playing The Cat Lady. Not with the puzzles, they are quite easy. I don't play horror games at all, but the real problem is: I think I have a "cat lady" aunt. I'm very close to her, I feel like she is a second mother to me, even though she lives alone with her cats. She is the one that influenced me to read poetry and such. When I play, I remember her, and it's kind of hard to see the disturbing parts. I'm playing as if Susan was my aunt, and it's getting very scary. I'm afraid of playing it. I fear the ending, even though I have no idea what it will be. It might take a little while to play it to end.

Just a personal account for you to know.

I will try it. Good luck with your game. See you around.

You're welcome!
