Are there different endings? No matter what i change it always ends the same. Is it that feeling of helplessness i was warned about?
Sadly history was history ¯\_(o.o)_/¯
But we can change our futures!
This was genuinely terrifying, well done!
¡No pasarán!
Thanks for playing!
¡No pasarán! indeed!
Now I feel bad for prioritizing my family. This was truly a chilling game. Dare I say, it's on the same level as We Become What We Behold. Well done.
Wow, I'm flattered by the comparison! Thanks so much for playing :)
Wow! A work of art, in every sense of the word.
Thanks for playing! :)
One of the best games I've had the pleasure to play. The music really sealed the whole experience. Incredible work.
Thanks for playing, please share it with your friends!
great game. the use of the game mechanics like the cursor and choices was haunting.
Thanks for playing!
Some things can't be forced.
Good thing that this story isn't like that, eh?
It's a good thing that people don't get shot in real life just for voting honestly, usually...
Daring to not completely hate the fruit hued man, on the other hand...
Yeah. There's a point to be made about the true value of historical quotes in this day and age, and people who hanker for things new and original.
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about
Small reference pools, mate.
The only thing you reference is the funny United States man. Your comment is just weird dude
That's an interesting way of looking at it. Given how so many internet people can't get enough of memes associated with old live action shows involving funny bald men. Talk about cognitive dissonance and short term memories, mate.
wish i could play it more then once
Thanks for playing! :)
