I loved the flash game when I was younger. This game is truly the peak of taking an idea that sounds boring on paper, and making it into something great. The tension and stress of everyday, along side the looming sense of doom that an attack might happen, or that you might make a mistake and not be able to feed your family almost makes it feel like action game at times. The progression as the mechanics get more and more complex is paced perfectly. To top that all off, it's stylistically amazing. There are great character interactions, moments and endings that are filled with black humor and irony, with a story that is surprisingly investing. The music although scarcely used, has great effect when it is. Just a super creative and truly unique indie masterpiece.
