I remember this game really affecting me, particularly because I got a bad ending and didn't realize it has multiple endings.

Highly recommended if you like adventure games.

The story it's based on is, of course, fantastic too.

How did this game feel to others?

I’m pretty sure that the game has a slightly different ending to the book, as well. I didn’t know he did both. Very few things have made me feel as uncomfortable and unsettled as the book/game.

The game has several different possible endings depending on your choices. The short story of course has only one ending: very depressing one that is the title of the story.

That I did know. I played through a few of them and each of them were as bad (in a good way) as the others. I think evoking that type of emotional response was the idea of the series, book and game, however. They’re not meant to give you good feelings, but cause conflicting emotions.

Stellar series, like I said before. Absolutely enjoyed it.
