He never talks to me anymore.  He never talks to anyone anymore.  

His eyes are always closed.

I wonder what he sees...

Technical Recommendations

This game uses a lot of animations and transparencies on the screen at once, and since the engine lacks real hardware acceleration, the game will get bogged down on slower computers.  On a slow computer (say, less than 1.5GHz) animations will slow down and the sound will often skip.

I've included an option in the game's option menu that turns off some of the uneccessary effects which can help performance.  If this doesn't resolve the problem, I'm sorry.  But remember: it's just a freeware game!

So is this just one game? I thought it was two?

[DeathDude]

Yeah thought it was 2 seperate games too, ah wells still looks cool, shall play it when I get the time.

[Doubler]

Looks even cooler now, imho
Very interesting concept(s).

[Potatoe]

Very interesting. Trying it out right now!

Edit: Woah, this game is strange...

[BeefontheBone]

Wow, that was strange. And a bit short - I was expecting some more things to happen at the end Fun, though, and very neatly put together.

[VinceXII]

Thanks for the comments guys!  And sorry for my little bit of deception!

As for the game's relatively short length: The game is a bit of a concept piece and I didn't want to drag it out too long.  However, there are four endings... did you get the true ending?  If you did, you'd get a code to add your name to the Hall of Completion!!!

[Whitehat]

Looks pretty good. Might try it.
