Type: Platformer
Description:
This game has been described in many ways, such as "an unusual platformer where you battle a sinister trickster to discover the truth" and "an ominous re-imagining of classic platforming games that will have you questioning your sanity". It's also been stated that it will make you hate games in general. Now, it's really not that hard or dramatic, although far from everyone makes it to the actual ending. However I find it very crisp and clean, the gameplay is fun and different and if you feel like it you can easily squeeze a little social criticism about how we all follow orders and the fine line between gaming and meta gaming etc. etc. out of this apple. I don't feel like that though, I'll just settle with "this is a cool game, try it out".

Oh, this game. I knew it sounded familiar. I loved it. I didn't get the true ending until I read some comments somewhere, but it's awesome.
I like this theme in general, the one that you're stuck somewhere and a secret someone "helps" you. They mostly betray you, though. Great game, glad it's here now.
