I played with this just yesterday. The idea alone deserves quite some credit, as the execution and the role-playing of the guy.

Why I didn't like was the dead-end loops that you don't seem to be able to come out - but hey, it's still a great one :)

Something rather important people who would really like to find the perfect ending might want to know before playing the game though:



SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
The walkthrough at jayisgames.com says you have to download one of the videos and video-edit it to beat the game. So, if you're really aout to find the perfect ending, ou must have to have some video-editing software and the basic skills.


I don't think that's gonna be a problem for the hardcore players though :)

... and besides, even without that "trick" you'll have some half-win ends to discover, some easter eggs and some ways to die in unexpected ways - so, even without finding that perfect ending this game offers quite some fun.

Bio is probably right (if only I had the time or inclination once again to read his thesis I may find out!!)

The dead-end loops are entire point of the game. Very funny and well done.

Great.

I think I saw it all? But very possibly not...


SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)

I got as "far" as "Liquidhead". Anything beyond that?


Can't qualify this as a real ETR ATM so this is a qualified rating but it deserves good marks so I must despite its disqualification give it a qualified...

85%
(100% original (to me); 90% funny; 50% length (too short) = ~85%)

Oh, just read Bios spoiler to see if it would answer my question about if I'd seen it all... I will say to myself I did, even though I didn't because I ain't gonna do as suggested... except maybe later... what do you think of this rambling on BetsyBee?

There is an ending! And I've been through hell and back to find it! For anyone still looking, here's a hint: there is an invisible link that pops up between your choices "in the dark roooom." Once you find it you're free! FREE!

well, I guess this is just not my cup of tea. I really don't care if I find the lightswitch, can't stand Mr. I Always Yell.

So has this guy not only freaked (too) many of us out... but brought about the end of casual gaming altogether?

Waiting patiently for some new games, any new games. Anything to get Mr. Creepy Pants off the front page.

Huh, I didn't find him creepy, just irritating.

It's probably just another liittle break
Soon there will be new games and an umpteenth new face for our BetsyBee ;)

Comment 22, Tuesday, March 6th 2012 12:09:08 PM

BetsyBee

:
Why am I the only one who gets a new face on a regular basis, it's a worry I tell you!!!

Comment 23, Tuesday, March 6th 2012 12:25:16 PM

:
It's because you are a "dynamic personality!"?

(...or is it "moody"?)

Comment 24, Tuesday, March 6th 2012 12:58:31 PM

BetsyBee

:
Probably moody!! (but nice with it!)

Are we back to the 'Twin Peaks' syndrom of 2010 ? If so, only another 976 posts until we get a new game!!

There's another Minoto ugly duckling of course, but it's more fun being insulted by the chap in this game.
