SHIFT - RUN arrows - movement SPACE - actions (you can interact with obvious stuff)
Join Mitt as he burrows deeper into his malignant narcissism and psychopathy. Everything (music et al) made in 48 hours. Borrowed scripts keep the game from the main competition.
Quite inventive and creative, although I got bored, probably because I am not american :D I had super fun though.

That music is really fitting, though extremely disturbing. The movement is really too slow for the kind of distances that need traversing, and it makes the game really slow. I gave up because it was taking forever to get anywhere.
Lastly, 73.2mb? Wowza, the sounds alone account for a huge chunk of the game size (about 70% of it) and the other being the use of PNG for images (which account for another 20%) that would compress so well with JPG. I think it would be more accessible to more people if this wasn't the case. Not gonna take away from your ratings, but it is going to take away from the amount of people who rate it :O
Got a little weird towards the end, like it was trying to shock me but just wasn't succeeding, but at the start where it was just joke after joke I found it hilarious. Definitely max points for humour.
The hand-drawn environments and characters are unique and cohesive. The atmosphere is interestingly brooding; There are times where it feels like I'm playing a Salvador Dali painting.
Wow, that was messed up. I played it at like 5 AM and I think between staying up for it and eating Taco Bell is going to give me permanent nightmares. Definitely nailed the themes and the watercolor environments gave this game its character. Great work.
Thanks for the warning, I played it anyway. Enjoyed it as well, altough it was a bit disturbing. I like the hand made graphics and the humor. the music was impressive but got on my nerves after a while (but that might have been intentional). Were that real instruments. just curious, but what scripts did you have to use? This game also scores good on mood. Original game.
thanks for the comments, @goerp - I made the "music" with my strat and my synth and used tape distortion on my voice. So, almost real instruments. I used a script for the text and one for the menu, I spent too much time on the music and nonsense.
Wow. This is the most fucked up LD game I've ever played. It's quite hard to endure, but I'll give you credit for doing something daring, and the ending was somewhat redeeming. Definitely a standout in LD25, for better or worse.
The music was great, though unsurprisingly I liked what the radio was playing before Mitt's beast mode disc.
Yeah, that was pretty disgusting, although the rest wasn't too bad compared with the end. The music was... disturbing. I muted the game after the radio changed.
I didn't really like it, but I'll certainly give points for innovation and mood.
Calling this game disturbing is a huge understatement. The problem with art games, which I consider this to be, is that they focus more on making a statement then being fun. Worth playing but not a fun game.
The doll-man beating at the end was my favourite part. I felt too much in control of everything but I think that added to the idiosyncratic strangeness of it. :)
The art was just spectacular. Humor and music are great. But I didn't like how the gameplay was forced - couldn't proceed until doing specific things that the game told me to do :(

Interesting sound and graphics too.
It is a little deranged.
I'm not sure what that says about me.

I'm with you BlackBulletIV.
the ending is horrifying. genuinely horrifying.
the most pervasively depressing and fucked-up mood of the competition, out of the 50~ games i've played so far
