A trully masterpiece. It makes me think about what i have done in my life. And i expect to be a better person in the future. JUST BECAUSE OF THIS GAME. THANK YOU GUS!
Wondering what the consequences would be. They'll probably just sent someone else to kill that guy. Why is he supposed to die in the first place? So many questions... ;)
Very raw and visceral. A very powerful piece, that is well worth playing. It reminds me of Brenda Braithwaite's talk about her game "Train" and why games don't have to be "fun" to have value and importance.
Interesting. Very simple and yet quite complex. Not much to say that others haven't. The aiming animation lends a lot to the tone. I shot the first time, second time I clicked elsewhere on the screen to see if it would fire somewhere else (nope!), then third time I spared him to see what happened. I didn't feel bad at all for it (it's a game afterall), but it did make me think about the natural reaction to kill in videogames as a default state, even though I don't think it's a real issue (again as it's a game).

Why are the army light toned and the victim dark toned?
(Then I clicked on "replay" and shot him just to see what happens. Okay, maybe I actually feel like a hypocrite.)
The racism is implicit, just like real war.
I was a bit disappointed for not seeing consequences of my choice.
