I have started and am trying to start, but I can't start. It just says the screen of how to move and do stuff, but no matter what I press or click, it won't start...
This was surprisingly fun! and I played it for at least an hour each time different enough to make me keep wondering "what if" OR maybe i just think too much, being a lady gamer and all :)) What was with the cosmic horror? anyone Know? Check out my Let's play!
if you come back to the sibling after not choosing it, you might notice it does not remove the nightmares, even though it blocks you from getting them, which kind of makes sense because you are not intended to do such thing
This is a nearly perfect game. You gain many things, and lose many things. But in the end only a few things stay. You can take this in 2 ways. Don't bother to try or- Try and hold on to what you do have. It does have some weird things sure with the sacrifices but it's still very good
This is almost perfect. What would make it really perfect is if I could mute it.
Also, it doesn't make any sense. Why do I have to give up toys because I have a sibling? I can still have my own stuff and have a sibling, or share. And why nightmares for not having a sibling?
Why do I lose carelessness because I'm an adolescent? Teens are just are careless and ignorant of how things work as children are.
Why is it "good grades" or "fun"? Why can't it be both? That doesn't make any sense. And why does it cost me my best friend? Wouldn't my best friend want me to succeed and support me? Wouldn't I want them to succeed and support them? Why can't we both be getting good grades together?
Why do I have to be addicted to something because I have "bad grades"? That's ridiculous. I know plenty of people who didn't do well in school and they have good jobs, partners and family, etc, and don't have addictions.
I lose my grades because I have a "first love"? Nonsense.
Why do I have to choose between a nerdy passion and sports? Why can't I do both? That makes no sense. And how does that decrease my social life? But also, how does doing sports decrease my safety?
Degrees or fun? "It's either that or parties, buddy"??? That also doesn't make any sense. I can do both and so do a lot of other people. Why is it one or the other and why make it sound like if you're not getting your degree then you're some kind of loser who doesn't have fun? I choose degree and now it says I'll never get to party... Uh, that's not how it works.
I have a boring job so I'll never have my artistic career...?!?!?! That doesn't make any sense, either.
Lost parents because I never went back to visit them?? I can call them, I can write them emails and/or video chat......
Buying a house doesn't mean you can't or won't travel.
Why do I have to lose my nerdy passion? There are plenty of older people who work, have partners and families who still have their nerdy passions.
Lost hope because we're all going to die? You made it automatically happen as though it's something that happens to everyone.
I have another addiction because "nothing else sparks joy"? How could you possibly decide that? I have a decent job, make decent money, have a home and a partner. I have friends and a nerdy passion. I have and do things that are fulfilling.
You didn't add anything for old age... You make it seem like old age is empty and pointless.
This game is terrible. It doesn't give accurate choices. You set it up so that it ends the way it ends.
The whole game is set up for the end. You'll always have the same (or most of the same) things in life no matter what happens. You lose and gain things. But in the end, only some things matter, and that's you. You get so many things but in the end, only a few things out of so many things stay. One of those things are you, your house, and a couple other things. It's hard to explain my thinking but I honestly do agree with some of the choices and sacrifices, like losing friends because of grades and etc. But there is a message, and the game is set up for the end to convey that. That's my interpretation at least.
I understand what you're saying, but your entire argument is nonsense. It's set up to reflect the dev's narrow view of their own existence and experiences, and not the many possibilities of other people's experiences. I didn't lose friends because I focused more on grades and I didn't become a drug addict/alcoholic because I also chose to have fun while also focusing on my grades.
These "choices" don't reflect real life. They're narrow and lazy.
But, again, it's a fictional game based on fictional choices and fictional consequences.
Eventually what you see in it is entirely up to you, and I'd rather not force a view on anyone or reveal what the game really is about, but maybe it's not about you, and maybe it's not about winning or "being both" either.
This game was great! It was silly, yet realistic, sad and also thought provoking! The choices that one could pick and then the resulting consequences of those were really fun and pretty realistic. (Gameplay below if anyone's interested!)
The game was super colourful and the little blobs that represented everything were really entertaining and super cute! The little texts that narrated everything was pretty fun too, and as things progressed, the consequences of choosing an action the player might have forgotten is shown and really goes to show how things can have long and lasting effects.
The music, I thought didn't really suit the game but that is just my opinion, it was still upbeat and didn't get too old towards the beginning and really helped amp up even the sad parts.
Last of all; the end was really great and was so different from the beginning where everything is still and takes time for the players to read. It really shows the impact of everything and can even make the player reflect on their own things!
Overall, this was an amazing game which is really fun and has great replayability to see the multiple options of endings and consequences!
This game was actually SUPER cool. I didn't end up noticing exactly why I was losing things while gaining things but I figured that out later. The game was honestly a little bit sad but also very truthful. I seriously enjoyed this game a lot and I've done 4 different ending so far lol. Here is my video if anyone is interesting in watching:

"You got fun. You'll never get good grades" Yep, seems about right
same
I have started and am trying to start, but I can't start. It just says the screen of how to move and do stuff, but no matter what I press or click, it won't start...
move right
I can't, I can't move or do anything for that matter
ah, ok, i thought you meant you thought there was a start/select screen you were stuck at
No problem :) Thanks for trying to help :D
I made a video of this game for french viewers!
It was fun to play, I liked to try different options and see what I could get!
funly boring
never have i heard a game described with such accuracy
Good job. Thank u
Really cool game that made put me on the edge of tears a few times. Love it. It desperately needs optimizing though
This was surprisingly fun! and I played it for at least an hour each time different enough to make me keep wondering "what if" OR maybe i just think too much, being a lady gamer and all :)) What was with the cosmic horror? anyone Know? Check out my Let's play!
Also THANK YOU DEVS FOR CONTROLLER SUPPORT!!! <3
first death i had a rebel attitude fancy car a house and a cosmic horror
wut
how would one even aquire a cosmic horror
get good grades and nothing else
at my first death, i had
99 problems and a house
so fun
i died alone with only fries and beer
wut
Lol my latest life sucked
If you get nightmares and good grades then you can get a cosmic horror.
i got my nightmares, i got good grades, wheres my cosmic horror?
well
try again i guess
i got it and it looks terrifying
then again, its "cosmic horror"
you get it near the end of old age
The best way to get a passion for fries is to get the following:
Good grades
a talent for sport
a degree
a boring job
furniture
I played the whole game not choosing anything. Just died with one thing (an alcohol addiction).
*sad death noises*
*sad beer noises*
because even loneliness is a person in this game, why do you ONLY lose loneliness when you are at old age
why does the game not warn you that you lose nightmares when you get minor addiction
IDK
you dont
if you come back to the sibling after not choosing it, you might notice it does not remove the nightmares, even though it blocks you from getting them, which kind of makes sense because you are not intended to do such thing
why can't you have rebel attitude and introversion
GrayStillPlays: "you can be an introverted rebel"
omg fellow graystillplays fan
yeee
YASSS GRAYSTILLPLAYS
yayayayayayayaya
OMG GRAYSTILLPLAYS
why does having a sibling decrease your safety? does that happen because they never have a sense of trouble this way?
biju mike played this
This game is beautiful.
Cool game, but there's something bugging me.
What's jump for, lol.
interacting with characters
no not interact jump press spacebar if your not near anythin
idk too

this game was so much fun and I love that there are a lot of choses u can make.
A bug made the game crashed and I have no idea what to do about it: 10 freaking FPS
This game was great! It was silly, yet realistic, sad and also thought provoking! The choices that one could pick and then the resulting consequences of those were really fun and pretty realistic. (Gameplay below if anyone's interested!)

epic
Like this a lot. Cute characters. Did way better than in real life. :)
I didn't make very good choices and my furniture burned in a fire, maybe I should have not bought the candles.
This game was actually SUPER cool. I didn't end up noticing exactly why I was losing things while gaining things but I figured that out later. The game was honestly a little bit sad but also very truthful. I seriously enjoyed this game a lot and I've done 4 different ending so far lol. Here is my video if anyone is interesting in watching:
a cool game. its just depressing :( xD
