What now?

Do these chores ever end?

why

The game goes beyond not being meant to be played, it actually seems to despise the player for trying to play it at all. But I do want to show you the rest of the level so when you're ready to continue, press enter and I'll put a bridge over the maze.

Yeah, you're right, that's pretty cheesy.

You start in a small room, until you realize you can just walk through the walls.

Okay that's about it for introduction, let's take a look at Coda's first proper game.

But this is the worse, most desperate thing I've ever been through! How could you possibly forget it?

I'd rather be doing literally anything other than playing this

I refuse to believe

Cool cavern bro

And then you stopped, and I didn't have anything left to show people. And I just had to be with myself. And as soon as that happened there was no feeling at all. Nothing. Less than nothing.

DOWNWARD. KEEP DIGGING.

Listen, you can't know until you're out, but I promise it works.

who ARE all of you?

I just felt so strongly that if I could have connected with him, that if I could have somehow made his work my own, that I would finally be happy. I needed to see myself in someone else. I needed to be someone other than me. But he stopped, and left, and it felt like I failed.

It was that kind of thing. Here was the point in my relationship with Coda where I really started to wonder if he needed my help in some way.

Age just kind of does that, you know?

I asked him to please tell me what the 3 dots mean. And he wouldn't.

...what? That will free me? How does that work?

From up here it just looks like dots

I want to tell you a secret. Once UPON a time i did...

How do you leave notes?

very good game!

stop faking it

I mean, is something wrong with me? Because I know I did an awful thing, and I'm doing it again right now, I'm showing people your work, but I can't stop myself from doing it, that's how badly I need to feel something again, like I'm an addict.
