10/10 - A MUST have for those who can deal with heavy introspection...

The game is not really a game. It is a deeply personal and subjective experience, and journey into the innermost self, of you, the creator and the subject. And possibly of everyone else youever know or meet.

it is a dark experince, a bright expeience, a lost and confusing experience, and a sharply clear experience. All at once.

I don't know that I actually could spoil this for anyone, since it really is something deeply personal, and I feel the experience will be different for each person who explores this path. I do think it would not be terribly good for anyone without some good, solid self-awareness, or at least some self-awareness, looking for more. Probably not a good experience for anyone who is badly broken, totally not self-aware and those looking for soething kight, easy, and with no deep meanings or thoughts. It is hard to call it "enjoyable", perhaps "worthwhile" is a better term.

This experience made me stop and look at my own life, my deepest worries and fears, my reason for being, my motivations, my faults, my flaws, my wants and needs, my darkest places got ripped open a bit, just a bit. But it also made me think of my joys, my successes, my dreams, my impact on the world around me, the postivie things I have done. It's not all dark, but it could sure suck you into the depths if you have a tendancy to go there anyway.

Not a "pew-pew-pew" and grief you friends and total strangers kind of game. This does require a higher level of attention and thinking to even feel like you understood any of it. And after playing it, I am left with so many thoughts of "What if", "Should I, Could I, Would I" and "Could I have done better". Not in the game, but IRL. Really moved me deeply and shook me. And will keep shaking me for some time. Deeply human. It is so very deeply human...

Thank you for making this game, and making me wake up while walking the path you guided me on. I will walk this path with you again, and see what else it reveals about myself and others around me. And I hope Coda is happy and well, out there smewhere.
