Not gonna lie, as someone who has family outside of the States and has lived outside of this country, this game is not only reductionist but also extremely insulting.
Please, please educate yourself before producing something like this again. It's reducing people to minority stereotypes rather than treating them as people.
I don't really care what country. I do think this attitude is more widespread amongst Americans, having lived here for a while both as a minority and as someone who lived outside the country, and it's really easy to see this kind of attitude from people here. Admittedly, they may be from some other country. I don't really care.
But maybe pick a better fight than 'ohno she picked on America' instead of using ad hominem because you can't attack my points.
I would also like to add, which I missed in my last post...that putting this in "meaningful choices" is rather aggravating. And Story Rich is just straight up a lie.
This game overly simplifies...a lot. In fact, it manages to be rather racist itself in an attempt to speak against racism and comes off as very insulting towards any of the groups mentioned within it, not to mention it is...very contrived. No matter the stance about privilege, this is insulting.
No matter what you do something goes wrong and you die sad. The best outcome was probably the Lesbian’s one, fighting for their rights and becoming a matyr.
I get the feeling the creator is depressed and wants revenge on the world, thus brings his players down with him ;) Don't play at his level otherwise he'll beat you with experience - play a happier game from a different creator :D
I think the creator is simply trying to spread the message that no minority deserves to be treated they way that they are. This shit happens in the real world, whether you want to believe it or not. You can't just ignore the bad things, or else your ignoring the struggles and the inequalities that others dont have the privilege to ignore. Being LGBT this is something I live in fear of, and im sure many others do to.
I think an option to choose which character you are would be helpful. I get the idea behind it being random, but it makes it harder to look at all the scenarios and choices.
This game lols I love the fact this game always twists into some sad or violent death lols! I played 5 lives it was fun while it lasted but I'm moving on now cheers! :D
This game is simply trying to spread the message of how many minorities are treated simply for being them. This isnt 'edgy' this is real world. Sorry if you don't like it, but ignoring it is doing more harm than good.

i very dislike the game it doesnt only insult people who try to good things for there selfs it makes you the bad guy for being as good as it alows
That's it how life works for many people, you get to be the bad guy even if you try your best.
i dont think you understood. thats the point of the game growing up as not as a white cis male. the struggle in this world.

assuming the developer is in "this country" is very small minded and ironic

Did you just assume I was American? oh no.. youre making it worse

A brutal but intresting game
Low key the dude was a fucking moron for leaving his gun out like that, that was the only ending that was entirely warranted
i get that this is a game jam game but dang this is depressing
I wish there was a happy one :(

ok, can you even BEAT this game? No matter how hard I try, I always end up dying lol.
of course you end up dying, it's a game of life, my guy.
this game plays into oversimplified leftist views on the world ...
This game is very leftist for believing its not someones fault for being born poor
it is a very us vs them mentality , we do no wrong they do no right .
what-li
This game is the devil lmfao
The first one that i had was the girl who her parents were divorcing, that's totally me LOL
Even I got that first
one second you buy a gun next second you get shot in the balls by your child because she found it in the dawer
This game... LIFE TURNS OUT GOOD FOR SOME PEOPLE NOT ALL GET SHOT OR TRAMPLED OR DIE AFTER A FAILING BUISNESS
i liked it, it made me sad of the realities. it took awhile to get all the endings since the rerolling was a bit of chance
This is so retarded, made by an obvious mega-SJW
thinking this way comes from a place of privilege :) also try to refrain from using the r-slur
Retarded is not a slur
It is offensive though
You do know that is actually is a slur?
well yeah, technically, but its not nearly as bad when you compare it to most popular slurs (the, uh, n-word)
on a side note, how did you even find this comment i made it like a year ago
this game was not the best because of lack of options therefore this is a 1 play kind of game
Oof this is such a brutal game ;~;
No matter what you do something goes wrong and you die sad. The best outcome was probably the Lesbian’s one, fighting for their rights and becoming a matyr.
agreed. this feels so pessimistic.
When i see "This game sucks" i instantly click the up arrow. No joke.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm is good but evil
Can we get a executable?
Trying too hard to make a point: The Game
Rule #1: Keep your gun safety on.
Very interesting way to quickly send a message!
i'm depressed now :( this is so brutal :'(
why?????

Exactly right u should be able to pick ur person
sad bruh :(
This is actually kind of good. I found the asian kid least interesting but that's ok. I liked it.
Jesus, this game is brutal 😞
Thanks for making it!
Brutal indeed 😩
Life - The game where everything always goes terribly wrong!
Very fun game, I think I managed to play through all the endings.
Ok any good endings??
Nope.
This game lols I love the fact this game always twists into some sad or violent death lols! I played 5 lives it was fun while it lasted but I'm moving on now cheers! :D
The point is this is what happens to real people just because of how they were born.
Lol. Some of these people missed the point of the game entirely, it seems. They're probably privileged.
Tries to be edgy, only ends up being boring. For the same effect, read a 15-year-old's blog.
