can someone help me figure out how to download these games? I’m new to the website and every time I try, it brings me to a blank gray page with the reload button. (I’m on phone by the way) if anyone finds out how to help me, let me know somehow
Before you click on download, go to the 3 points at the right top of your browser, then searchthe option "desktop site" this will change the whole page as you were using in a PC, them try to download again. Like this> Change to desktop mode on your mobile browser
And if this don't work, try to turn on the option "download from unknown source".
At first i thought this was just another neat pixelart game, but it surpassed that, this is a full on experience, the music, the graphics, and most importantly, the story that talks about self discovery, all combined in this game, it really has some replay value to it, i had to play it a couple of times before understanding everything, the gameplay is also fantastic, reminds me of games like day of the tentacle mixed with trauma center, there's something very special about this game, the background specialy on the intro reminds me of something... something i can't quite remember, it made me feel like the protagonist of the game, it made me feel bad for her, truly a sad story and game that more people need to find out about.
Didn't play the game yet, but I just downloaded the game and, well, it looks like the file names have some heavy spoilers. I'd suggest to rename them to something more generic to avoid spoiling the player.
Didn't notice the feet till the last playthrough (even though they're literally in the preview).
[Spoilers] In order of endings, I got Child Soldier - Artificial - Acceptance - Johann - Alien - Activated
It's... a sad game. Interesting. But sad. Kinda hopeful in some places (the child soldier, being thankful for the person who is gone but managed to pull you through life's hardships hit close, as I think I have some kind of PTSD too (from totally different circumstances)). I always got artificial and alien at the same time. Dunharai. It's... interesting. I like how "normal" she felt in the artificial one, asking to meet her maker, and noting other humans feel the same way. The Johann ending was very sad. I didn't really want to prod around that, but it kept coming. An abusive ex. Laynie was 17 and suffered so much.
Honestly, the activated ending was the one I didn't really care for. The other were all interesting in their own manner, but that one felt... too much?
I don't know. I liked that game. I think the option to skip text you've already seen and the intro would have helped going through several playthroughs, though.
Also, I was pretty skittish towards removing the teeth and the eye. The eye was easier than I thought, as someone else in the comments said.
I got the ending of acceptance. It was her skeleton.
I found it a really interesting portrayal of dissociation from the body as a result of abuse. Many who are abused need to dissociate to survive and become disconnected from their bodies (for various reasons), so I found this an incredibly clever and realistic way to depict that struggle.
El final me ha recordado un poco a la película Diamond Flash de Carlos Vermut.La ambientació me ha gustado pero he acabado teniendo mas preguntas que respuestas.
i ducking love this game. The style, the gore, the pixel, the aesthetic, the finals, the mystery, even that 'Person', everything is totally beautiful and cool and scary I- This is really one of the best games I've ever played. Will you ever make a sequel? I really hope so.
a really cool premise that caught my interest right away. because i'm such a fan of sci fi stories, i generally picked the more outlandish options, ending up with the "my skeleton is crafted" outcome. i feel satisfied with the game for now, but i want to play through to every ending eventually, so i'll probably come back to comment further once that happens!
this game went completely against what i was expecting from it, its has such a eerie yet intriguing storytelling, which is great since its got such a unique story to tell.
I really love this game's aesthetic! The style is so appealing to the eyes, it contrasts wonderfully with the uncomfortable themes. I only wish it lasted longer. I discovered that the skeleton belonged to a child soldier, but I'm very curious to see what other outcomes might look like.
It's great. The skelet belongs to Johann if you ask me, a person, that have played once. If you asked me, person, who played several endings, other outcomes are pretty interesting.
The eye part was pretty frustrating, I tried to deny taking eye off, but I did it (and it turned to be not as gory as I though, because it seems like I don't know how do crystal eyes work) and this part made my experience awesome.
The ending made me laugh, for some reason. But the result of the investigation kinda contraticted her actions: 'not her skeleton inside of her' turned out to be the metaphor and it's kinda weird, it means she wasn't that sure the physical skeleton is not hers, but she was sure that much she did all of this!
Just finished it, pretty interesting. It was very clear to me, right from the beginning, that the character had some sort of serious mental issue(s). Having another person's skeleton inside you is absurd.
Then the game continued. I started by attempting to return home, which wasn't possible. So I took some X-rays, beginning by investigating the feet. I saw that they were nonsymmetrical, and that the character had options for various choices explaining it, ranging from absurd conclusions, to the more obvious answer that it's just normal body variation. I realized here that her definition of "another person's skeleton inside me" differed a bit from what I thought it meant; she was only referring to a few particular body parts.
Throughout the game, I picked the choices that were the most logical explanations and usually chose ones that indicated a realistic scenario (such as previous injury or abuse), rather than picking weird choices indicating some alien/government conspiracy. Although, a few of the things were particularly genuinely concerning (a chip embedded in her hand??).
Then the time came to pick a conclusion, and obviously, I went for the one where she realizes that she has mental problems and needs help. After explaining to the person on the phone that she understood she was delusional, she asked the person to come get her. And then, suddenly, her interlocutor walks in, wearing some creepy apparatus (reminded me of the torture gear on suitors in Amnesia: Justine), and I suddenly realized that I had perhaps misjudged this universe; our character may not have been delusional at all. And I just made choices that convinced her that everything was ok... Who was this person, and what was going on? How did our character end up in this situation?
I was pretty shocked and a bit scared. If this weren't just a short experiment, it might make a good introduction to a horror game.
This game really caught me off guard if I'm being honest. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I was expecting what I wound up playing. The narrative style was completely unique, and I didn't realize until I had made progress that I was actually the one making the choices about this girls past. The art style was super juxtaposed to the content that was in the game, and the sound effects were well placed and very effective. Overall, this was a very fun game, and while there are multiple endings, I only chose to find one. Well done!
I loved it. I got engaged into the story very quickly and the game made me ask many questions! I love replaying it to see the different outcomes.*SPOILER ALERT* The original ending I got was the one where she discovered that it was actually her skeleton. You did a very good job on this game! I love the idea of not knowing what lurks under what we can see in plain sight and exploring it, And this game did just that! Great game, I would give five stars!
The idea of "my skeleton isn't my own" is very new and creative to me. I got the "Activated" ending, and then the "Child Soldier". The concept was intriguing to say the least. We have no knowledge of our character except for the text choices and narration. Assuming Johann is an abusive friend or relative from the text was my first and final guess. What really creeped me was the constant "please come home". No other response, and further increasing my curiosity by having a large male figure with what looked like a large bracer and bandages around his head also saying the one line "please come home". The fact that she new about (if you choose it) the russian bullet caliber, the plastic bomb, and microchip was also confusing. However she could just be assuming. Either it's the art of video games changing the world and characters according to your action, or it's the narrator making up nonsense.
Rambling aside I think from a logical/realistic standpoint that our narrator is suffering from an abusive relationship with Johann and/or family, and due to this she has run away out of the country and stolen an Xray to investigate boogiemen. Afterwards due to Xray radiation and several incisions and even vomiting she makes up a story based on the chosen boogiemen.Honestly, I think that man was... Johann. Wrapped in bandages maybe after an accident. Maybe, after a cliche near-death experience he saw what he had done to this poor girl. And pursued her. Trying to get her to come home so he could make it up to her.
this game was very interesting. it intrigued me so much that i got all the endings, but i was left with more questions than answers.
SPOILERS
my guess is that our character has schizophrenia and ran away after an abusive relationship. but i have no guesses on who the "person" who came for her at the end might be!
Three words which ellicit an emotional human response. But at the same time, the repetition creates an artificality around it, which does not seem to bother the transmitter because it assumes that these three single words in a sequence should be enough to trigger the desired emotional response.
11:45 A Vivid Life was such a weird and oddly satisfying experience. Digging through her own body to find what pieces of tech have been hiding there. And why...

Amazing insane game! I found all 6 endings. Two questions:
This was a demo for some bigger project,where is it?
And... Why 11:45???
Jeez, that was so fun! Thank you so much for making that game!
I loved that so much, very interesting, short and fun!
My playthroughs tend to gravitate toward Johann/ Child Soldier. I keep playing again hoping for secrets and endings that I wish there were more of ):
is this game suitable for twitch?
It contains brief pixelart nudity, but there is no sexual content. We've seen other streamers play it without problem.

Its very cool game
I'm confused. I'm just not used to decide about things, that happened in the past, because it doesn't make sense.
Played it and tried to find every outcome

made me sad...good game
Self-discovery is an important part of growing up, it's nice to see a game about someone doing so in such a safe and responsible way. ;{)
Very interesting game. I really liked the way that Laynie's trauma was revealed, and I felt for her. A tense and captivating experience.
If you ever plan to do more with this idea, I'd be willing to buy a full game of this. That story with Johanne, so tragic and touching...
Thank you for your work <3
weird
1/21/21 - Before Playing:Looks like a neat little point&click game with a neat story.

Last game. Super unique all around. I plan on playing more for the other endings. The whole idea of her skeleton not being her own is great.
Please come home.
