AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Aw man Spoony I was gonna post that. :c

Here's a neat little artsy game. Post the ending you got, so says The Mighty SideburnsPuppy.

I got the one where my wife kills herself (more on that later), but my daughter survived, and I didn't show her my wife's dead body (though I would have loved to, but I knew there were no replays). I spent every day searching for a cure to the virus, but apparently I'm the only one left. I take the existence of all the trees in that ending to mean that some living tissue still on the planet earth, so some of it must be human, amirite?

Now, my wife...Wow. All that care not to sleep with the woman who was clearly hitting on me, and she offs herself. Note to self: in real life, find a significant other who is more accepting of my plans to save the human race. I mean really! Why is she so sad that I'm not spending enough time at home anyways? I was probably working ridiculous hours finding the cure for bloody cancer, you'd think an extra week wouldn't be enough to make her do something so drastic. If she wanted to kill herself as opposed to letting herself die from the virus, that's a dumb course of action, logically speaking. If she wanted to die, the virus would have done it anyways, and she knew that I was on it. I cured cancer, didn't I? I think I can handle the cure for the cure for cancer!

Not that I didn't like the game. I thought it was beautiful. I was just really rustled at my wife.

EDIT: Based on a playthrough on my parent's computer, it appears I can't show my daughter my dead wife. daisies! It appears I took the care to bury her body, but not to mop up the unsightly bloodstains.

Can't you delete the files that the game loaded onto your computer to play again or something?
Strange, when I went outside and went back home when there were two days left, the game restarted itself.

I'm, kind of appalled by this.

I don't even like Heavy Metal, but I find this game better than the first :\

I don't want to collect gems from whats his face, but I think I forgot a jump boost plant in the first part

where are they?

I found the undersea treasure, I just can't seem to get past some blocks

unless I'm doing it wrong and I could make the jumps this whole time...

It's not that I felt nothing. When I first saw the body, I was definitely sad, and even thought to myself "Dear God, what have I done?" But the more I thought about it, the less I blamed myself. I became angry that she didn't trust me to take care of things. I was also angry that she would do something like that where our daughter could see (the reason I wanted to show our daughter is because, in a game, which is not real and never will be, it's second nature to experiment with the rules, and see exactly what we are capable of; there was a reason I decided it would be a bad idea if replays weren't allowed), but moreso the fact that she had no faith in me. She could have lived with me, for how long who knows, but she had to give it all up.

Also, it seems that staying with my family, the only action that can keep her alive (which I feel is very selfish; I'm clearly doing this so humanity can have a future, so, again, why can't she just trust me?), makes one of my coworkers blame me for their lack of success finding the cure and stab me in the throat, so not only does my working on the cure save the human race, it also gives us, had she not offed herself, two more days together, which are evidently very important to her because two days apart was what made her decide life was no longer worth living in the first place.

I didn't feel her reasons for doing what she did were legit, as I detailed in my post, and manifested my emotions as a dry, detached lack of caring. It's easier to distance oneself from an in-game tragedy, where nothing is real. If my significant other in real life performed such an action, I would be torn to emotional bits, but since I had an emotional front already built ("It's just a game."), that helped me make myself more and more detached from the scenario, until I totally blamed my wife for her actions.

that is some deep shit man

I think you're taking a little flash game a bit too seriously.

I love taking things too seriously. I BS'd my way to a 92% in English class doing exactly that. Besides, it's clearly a "make ya think" game (see also: 2DCube's "Execution" and Jason Rohrer's "Passage"), so I thought about it. And I think that a character's single defining action showing exactly how little she trusted me was pretty weak.

I actually agree with him.

i fucking lost sleep over that

Arcane Castle is still one of my favorite flash games ever. Too bad it's pretty short.

I don't think you can miss a jump plant. Also, have you gotten the parachute? I think it's about two screens right from the main area, go down a hole there and you should find the parachute somewhere in there.

I got all three endings on Endeavor. It's addicting.
