how to secret end

Anders R. Mattson2 years ago

Here's a hint: try striking a balance between picking and not picking.

The music, graphics, and writing tied this game together nicely. It left me with a sense of confusion that will sit with me for the rest of the day. Framing the scenarios with a nose pick was an interesting concept - the given control to pick/not pick when these coping mechanisms normally might not give the leisure compelled me to do it anyways. Weird.
Cheers to your future content, and long live e g g.

Thanks for the kind comment, and happy to hear you found it weird :). Did you get the Soft Ending? Definitely my favorite of the three.

I did, I found it contemplative and mysterious. Nice touch (:
