This game made me have an existential crisis.

a game about how having a wife will only slow you down

I think the warping edges visual is cool.

That's it.

I was just about 18 when this came out. I remember how people talked about it, about it being this landmark moment for expressiveness in video games. The passage of time since this game makes a lot of that discussion look like a slowly dressing clown, bereft of enthusiasm. The despair arises from how little it took to make people in 2007 Question Everything They Thought They Knew About Video Games. The Joke, that all that thought and energy was invested into the dude what made The Castle Doctrine about a decade later.

Poético y minimalista. La vida, representada mediante una línea, se muestra de forma efímera. Tu figura irá envejeciendo lentamente con cada paso. La reflexión viene por la forma de afrontar la partida, siendo así una experiencia personal y metafórica.
