This game changed my life.
Ok so before I played this game, I had no money, no job, and no hope. I had just got a call from my doctor and he said that I tested positive for ebola and also AIDS. All my friends had abandoned me after I accidentally burnt down each of their houses on separate occasions, and I was homeless because I also accidentally burnt down my own house.
But then while browsing itch.io as I so habitually do, I found this game. I thought I'd give it a play, and went in with low expectations.
I was a little underwhelmed when I started playing. The controls were simplistic and the environment was minamilist. But the more I played, the more I understood, and the more my eyes were opened to my place in the societal hierarchy.
I looked at that small cube, adrift in that beautifully-rendered forest, and wondered if maybe I was like that cube, and maybe if those flowers were metaphors for my callous pyromania. After I played this game, I took a long look at myself in the mirror. And I decided to change.
I turned my unusual talent for burning down houses into a job as a demolitions expert, and worked my way through the ranks. I apologised to my friends and used my new-found clarity to become a successful motivational speaker. I was so popular, a celebrity heard about my ebola/AIDS situation and personally funded research into a cure.
I got married the next spring, and went through all of life's beautiful cliches: picnics in the park, our 1 year engagement, the decision to adopt, changing my kid's nappies, watching them go to nursery, to school, to university.
I grew old and watched my family grow, and while there was drama and dispute and anger, there was happiness too. I remember that final day of my life, surrounded by my family, and looking into my son's beautiful eyes. I remember, as I closed my eyes for the last time thinking that my whole life changed because of this one game.
So yeah, in conclusion, great game. lol
