So i totally can see and (to an extent) Appreciate what the creator was Attempting to Accomplish However My 1st Life Like questions in I got pregnant and then the next 6 questions were froemds, tennis coach, mother, doctor (who made me wait an additional WEEK to "think about it"!!!) trying to convince me not to get the abortion. Which my mother then disconnected from me aferwards. Then you tell me to be compassionate?! Jesus Christ... I like the concept but This has me floored! -10/10
The point is to be compassionate to minorities and the less fortunate. The situation you described happens to real people and those people deserve compassion.
The fact that the game considers that to be a bad ending is what makes me give it 1/5 stars.
You have a good decade with the love of your life and then — at the cost of your life, admittedly — you help usher in real change that really benefits people? That's great!
But the game thinks that it's a bad end for some reason. Sure, you die prematurely, but everybody dies.
The facial expressions at the end indicate "this is bad." If that was not your intent, then I think that you need to revise the game, because it's pretty clear from the comments that people think that there are bad endings and that every ending is (supposed to be understood as) a bad ending.
Guys please understand this is a game about the life of oppressed minorities and putting things in a realistic perspective of a person who is not a white cis male.
great game, didn't expect the fact that there aren't any happy endings but I really love how it represents reality, (well for the most) no matter what You do, no matter how things are going for you, yep, i forgot what i was gonna say, anyways great game!
Such an awesome game, the negative reactions are expected, since I think a lot of us get angry at this reality... but remember, this game is only a reflection of that, not a cause.
Honestly though the message in general is fine this is a really unpleasant game. I don't understand why you would want to spread this sort of nihilism around
Since you seem to be the creator or some sort of relation or friend of theirs, could you explain the reasoning behind the game? I understand the temptation to look at the world through this lens, but it seems like the message very much contrasts to the rest of the game. It also seems like you tried to make it focus around representation and inclusivity, but then based all of it on really outdated stereotypes. All in all, a bit dodgy.
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 guess the creator was a nihilist... (edit: i mean no offense)
but a rare good ending would've made the struggles on decision-making a 5/5.
If you choose to live with your dad, and then marry your friend, you can make equal rights stronger.
ohh... thanks!

The game never tells you that an ending is good or bad.

thank you yes!
I feel... Sadness...
They only had a 64 x 64 resolution and not that many colours to work with so that's why.
if ur mad because of the color of a race in a game then you should REALLY spend some time away from a screen
great game, didn't expect the fact that there aren't any happy endings but I really love how it represents reality, (well for the most) no matter what You do, no matter how things are going for you, yep, i forgot what i was gonna say, anyways great game!
There are only 3 storylines, also the ending is always the same: there's no scenario where someone is happy. Pointless game
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.
how depressing
Such an awesome game, the negative reactions are expected, since I think a lot of us get angry at this reality... but remember, this game is only a reflection of that, not a cause.
Ok
Decent game. Better than the comments would have you think.
A lot of easily offended people in the comments, don't listen to them man Great Game!
Where is the ''Click to unborn'' option at
That would be suicide? :|
Considering all the people complaining about life being too brutal and sad that wouldn't be taken well :p
ok
yo havent even played the game yet so after i do i hope i know why theres so much hate
yeah this game is shit lol
GOD DAMN- NO MERCY LMAO
rubish game.
This game made me cry very much
Honestly though the message in general is fine this is a really unpleasant game. I don't understand why you would want to spread this sort of nihilism around
shut up

This is the worst game I've ever played.
hats very rude
idc, still bad game
the most egregious choice in this clusterfuck of offensive stereotypes is the move to make people of asian descent literally bright yellow
click to born
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
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.
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 :(
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.
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.
