Boredom is something I wanted to get the player to feel. Extreme loneliness takes away interest in normally enjoyable activities (anhedonia) and I hoped to get that tedium across (also a "quitting is the only escape" perspective)."},{"author_name":"Pitzik4","author_uid":"8883","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 12:56am","epoch":1387241460,"text":"This is a really bizarre.
