I love this kind of games. The random style, the satire\/analise about and connected with life, is just great! I think it have great potential to be even more funny and playable, but like it is, and played for the first moment it was really nice."},{"author_name":"BudaDude","author_uid":"39888","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 3:07am","epoch":1450148520,"text":"This game is making me rethink life.

I would think you would need a little bit more time to find whats important in the game but other than that the graphics are awesome. The choices were really hard to read because i was hurrying through to find what was good and what was bad. Otherwise Good job on the game it was very fun."},{"author_name":"rzuf","author_uid":"1349","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 9:02am","epoch":1450256220,"text":"It's a cool concept.

There are 5 of them to find.\r\n\r\nTips:\r\n\r\n* You are always aging (even while standing still), and you will eventually die\r\n* Don't waste your life on the wrong jobs, different jobs give different emotional benefits as well as pay.  For instance, a Soup Kitchen pays $0 but raises your Self Acceptance\r\n* Some lives cannot be happy or successful no matter what you do\r\n* Overcoming an obstacle (the pad-locked doors) give a bonus to all stats\r\n* Your stats change with age.  For instance, your Physical will go down as you enter old age, and your Self Acceptance takes a hit in your teenage years\r\n* Meanings are marked by trophies icons - you can zoom out with your mouse wheel to see where they are easier\r\n\r\nI'm not ever sure if it's possible to find all \"meaning\" in a single life before dying. 3 out 5 is my best.\r\n\r\nPost-mortem:\r\n\r\nGood:\r\n\r\n* Well, I made what I set out to do\r\n* It's funny in weird and unexpected ways, like to accept lack of control and chaos (one of the meanings) you may need to murder someone\r\n* \"Pushing\" against a job to continue working there is a nice easy way to control things\r\n* Got a bit more comfortable with Unity and WegGL\r\n\r\nBad:\r\n\r\n* It's kind of boring. You end up pushing against everything without even reading what's happening\r\n* The more text and numbers I removed, the better it plays.  But don't feel like doing that\r\n* The random stuff is way too random, each life is completely different and some don't make sense.  Hey, maybe that's fitting though","title":"Rogue-Life"}
