Overtly Self-Aware and Very Smart Game

For years I have rejected video games as a legitimate art form. With games now being put on blu ray discs that can hold up 25 GB, I find it ironic that the game that was able to enlighten me and change my previous thoughts on the format came as a 13 MB .exe file.

As soon as loaded the file, I was greeted with a screenshot from Carl Sagan's classic TV Miniseries "Cosmos", which serves as a preview of the game's deep, philosophical themes that go beyond the boundaries of any other title released by a money-grubbing AAA company in the past.

I was then dropped in a beautiful psychedelic landscape, the epic size of the screen when compared to the game's character trigger kenophobia and create an overwhelming sense of isolation. Over the vast array of colors was a commentary written in white font. Something about performing sexual intercourse with a bridge? I don't remember. Anyway, I thought the game was over by that point, but I was treated with another surprise when guiding the character to the right side of the screen: yet another reference to the spaceship in cosmos, this time shown on a tv, next to the viewer laying in his bed.

This is art. Truly this is what separates indie from the mainstream.

wow very good

BRILLIANT ! I appreciate the way it' s told. It is basically a retelling of a mundane activity.

I got stuck on one of the screens.

Sorry, but I really didn't see the point of this game. I don't understand it. Does it even have meaning? Or is it there just to exist?
