@BloodJohn: I feared someone would say that. I definitely see where you're coming from, and it's definitely not a traditional "game"
The world is more connected now than ever, and I think you represent this political fact very powerfully.
Great art, tense music, very meaningful, well done! =)
@McFood Thanks a ton! Great to know that people are really understanding the deeper meaning. Also one of my first games where I'm really happy with the art, and the music too! The music was actually super simple (you didn't ask the process but I wanted to share it :P ), I just generated a three second audio clip here (http://www.earslap.com/page/otomata.html), cleaned it up in Audactiy so it looped properly, set it to loop, and added a slight random pitch shift every six seconds!
It is of course not much of a game, but I loved the graphics. And obviously, the message :)
I kept asking myself what my character represents... victim... martyr...bystander. I guess it's open to interpretation, which was a good choice.
Also, nice sprites. They reminded me of early adventure games
@Lord bobyness Aww, thank you so much!
@McFunkypants Thanks Christer :D
