Despite the extremely classic gameplay and its lack of variation, as long with some visual glitches, I really loved the original narration (I listened to it until the end, even after I died) and the visuals (the slit glass effect for health and the pixel art)."},{"author_name":"snooze82","author_uid":"12061","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 1:57pm","epoch":1398693120,"text":"didnt survive - loved the talk"},{"author_name":"leddkire","author_uid":"36774","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 2:49pm","epoch":1398696240,"text":"A simple game overall. I kept playing wanting to know what the voice would say next. The good thing was that the game was not so complicated that it would distract from the recording.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It felt like a journey, a conversation with yourself in those last moments.
