this is just a game bro

wow. I’m sorry you feel this way. 

Just to clarify, the world is not all sunshine & rainbows. It’s a story. It’s a small game & nothing more. Would you have complained of the guy was left alone? Probably not. Also, I think very highly of women & this game doesn’t portray any hate towards women. As I said, it’s a story.

I am married. I have children. You need to be able to separate the art/game/creation from the artist. As I said above, it’s just a game. I’m grateful that you tried it & your opinion is valid. I appreciate your time leaving me a comment but I stand by my decision to make games the way I want to. 

Films do this all the time & I think some perspective is needed. If you would like to look at any of my other games on here I’m sure you will see this isn’t a trend. 

I'm a woman and I played the game and it never once occurred to me that the dev hates women. You are reading way too much into a game that is supposed to be a fun and silly little experience. Drawing conclusions about the dev like that based off of this game is ridiculous.

Horror protagonists are generally dumb and tend to make poor decisions. This is a staple of the horror genre; I even reference this during my playthrough. As far as horror games go, this one is VERY tame. I would advise not playing other horror games if something like this upsets you.

In the future, do not attack devs just because you dislike a game, please. They make the game; they are NOT the character(s) in the game. It is a story that is meant to entertain. Don't accuse the dev of being a bad father/husband just because of a silly game. Words cannot express just how ridiculous that notion is.

If you knew the movie you'd know why. It's actually a short film, search youtube for "The other side of the box", you'll know which one when you see the thumbnail. I was angry, too, that he left his wife with the box, but it makes kinda sense in the film.
Never explained in the game, tho.

Edit: Also, calm down. All your interpretations of the dev's character and life choices based on a small game he published on itch are ... I don't find the words.
Speaking as a women here, please use this energy and defend women's rights where it matters and not by capslocking the comment section of an indie game. We have much more problems than storylines like that - like the games on Steam where the whole game is to "beat up hookers until you get your money", please go there and unleash your fury on those devs. :) I'm totally rooting for you!

(Plus; thinking about it - I'd have asked my husband to get help, too, because I'm not even taken seriously when I'm explaining the stuff I have a friggin bachelor's degree on. Trust me, guy-person would have had much higher chances of anyone believing him. Just on a side note. :)  )
