Your loved one has been terribly injured in a car accident. The doctors tell you that your loved one has less than a 5% chance of ever coming out of the coma.

Your choices are to wait and hope for the best or terminate life support and move on.

The weapon here is the human condition.

Does anything happen if you wait? Pretty ginormous file for a game with such little content. Is this pretty much just to convey some sort of message?

@Croze: Why not download the source and find out?

I waited between 5 - 10 with no change. I'd like to read the source but at over 400mb it's a little big. Interesting concept, but I'd like to see it fleshed out a but more. Condolences for your loss.

Bravo sir. I loved it. The very good graphics and audio with a very simple gameplay portray such a deep meaning with this game. Excellent work :)

That's an interesting idea. And I like the scene.
I would have it liked even better if you would not have used standard assets like the chair. Would make even more personal.

Maybe I did not wait long enough ... but I don't see the link with the theme.

If *the human condition* isn't unusual enough of a weapon for you, I give up.

An interesting take on the theme, and very nicely presented. Certainly makes the player think.

I downloaded this one right away but I waited a while to play it when I read the description. My condolences.

Very touching. I just lost my mother so it struck me extra hard (in a good way). Well made:) Goodluck in life, you'll manage!
