Superficial, November 22, 2010

A short one-room high concept game dealing with a suicidal teenage girl.

Endings are numerous, ironically killing yourself is much harder than surviving the night. Many or most of the endings can easily be figured out.

My main gripe with this game is that the main character doesn't really have any reason to kill herself. (Spoiler - click to show)Failing to make the cheerleading squad? Her football quarterback (presumably) jock boyfriend takes another girl to the prom? Sigh... Americans; so pathetic. Such a superficial and pathetic character might actually BE better off dead... GET A LIFE Some deeper drama would have been the saving grace of this game.

In summary, not much can be said about this game. Don't expect any originality or philosophical pondering of the single-minded suicide theme. I also would say that the usage of humour is misplaced in a game that is supposed to be dead serious.

Give it a try if you want to experience a game where you can quickly score results by logical thinking. Trying to find all endings might be fun (some are more stupid than others).
