Really cool short introspective computer game - Passage

[martindcx1e]

Anyone seen this yet? I think it's pretty neat. Different people can take away different meanings from this game. I won't tell you anything about it except that you move with the arrow keys and you quit the game with Q. You will complete it in about 5 mins prob. Here's the link http://hcsoftware.sourceforge.net/passage/

ok nvm im just an idiot, got it working

wow that was really interesting. very cool and neat idea. wonder how long it took using only these graphics. it's amazing that using such bad graphics such a cool idea can be presented.

how far did you get? the first time i played i thought "you gotta be kidding me, this game is retarded" and i died pretty early. but the next time i found a girl and fell in love and i lived much longer. however, once my wife died i didnt last much longer. i think my points were like 673 or something.

The first time i played i fell in love but kept walking to the right non stop and thought "wow this is retarded." But then i realized you could go down and there was entire landscape! So i died soon after that.

Second time i tried going stag and got like an 803.

Personally, i thought the game was dumb, i was trying to make a deeper meaning out of it but i really couldnt.

I just kept going right as far as possible and got to like 600 something. I guess you are actually supposed to do things?

You can get treasure chests and meet your wife, its more fun to try and go as down as you possibly can, when you meet your wife its harder to move along (obvious metaphor).

ya it def isnt as super cool as i thought it could be, but was better than expected, especially for the graphics

[IowaSkinsFan]

Yeah i really liked the concept, my expectations were probably way way too high. I don't want to hate on anyone who loves it.

I met my wife went north and walked right for 5 minutes then the bitch died and I tea bagged her grave and died

Im only hoping my real life can go that well

I'm not sure what I expected, but I think I expected more than that...

As for introspective? Um, we get old and die? You get more points if you stay single? You can't get to any treasures if you are married?

What the hell is the premise for this "Game"?

I will say that the "3D" effect was pretty well done for the graphics level though.

i killed the bitch, she was slowing me down. Treasure chests got me to around 1100
