For people that have played the game elsewhere, this is the original version, not an expansion or HD remake.

It is a pretty dark short free walking simulator about somebody committing suicide, suicide simulator if you wish.
You know the weird side of YouTube? I think this fits in what should be called the weird side of Steam :D
Due to the sensitive nature of the content I do not advise anybody in the critical stages of a severe depression to play this game, or even watch this video. I think it is better for those people to be directed to more pleasant (achievable) stuff, than killing themselves.
(Spoiler alert! Obviously, altough I missed something in my playthrough)

0:00 Starting the game, prologue, that damn alarm clock!
2:17 Use toilet.
2:49 Books.
5:48 Chat online with friends, use computer.
7:00 Clean the microwave.
10:40 Epilogue.
Made me felt terrible. And this is both what the authors intended and what I expected, therefore I am satisfied.
I don't know how to rate this game. It was strange. Not much of a fun yet it has some kind of a hearth. But I didn't get the point - yeah suicide is the point but...I wanted some deeper enlightenment
It's a free and short game, so no reason to not try it yourself if it seems interesting to you. That being said, I found the experience lacking.
It's weird, it's disturbing, it's kinda depressing, it's short, but most of all very interesting and totally FREE!
Also, please feed your shrimps, don't eat them!
7/10
Short (a few minutes max) and very simple: Gameplay consists of walking around your house ala WSAD and pressing E to perform a handfull of actions before you have to face your pre-determined fate and the End Credits music.
Also, you sit down to pee. Weirdo.
Game is really good. It build the mood properly, it makes you feel really weird and think a lot about the main character. The only flaw - simple graphics. You wish there would be some Perlin noise used with walls, doors, anything. But besides that - game is really great.
The games seems to depict a dark descent into a murder/suicide situation.
A strange world where palm trees and twisted dark thoughts guide you to your inevitable outcome.
This game with simple gameplay, and decent graphics is definitely worth the price of Admission... FREE.
But be warned, it is a very short game, with a dark ending that may not suit everyone.
Don't take my word for it, and check out my video by clicking on the link.

interesting. honestly I feel like this is the kind of game that you're gonna love or you're gonna hate. I haven't decided how i feel about it. It's very short, about ten minutes, and in that time, I was made to feel all sorts of things. On one hand, I was mostly disturbed. But on the other hand, I was also sort of fascinated. Poor shrimp, though. And poor man in the cage! I'm glad I had the option to free him. I can't say if i recommend the game or not, though. It honestly depends on the person. It's great for the kind of game that it is, but this kind of game isn't for everyone. lol. Whoever is interested in these kind of games should try it to see for themselves, though.
This could be a potential indie game but due to lack of depth in the story, I do not recommend this game.
As a player, you need to do as you are told and you are unable to carry out other tasks until you finish the said task.
When I play this game, I expected to at least interact with certain objects but mostly as a player, I need to observe and make my own conclusion. Plus, there is no deep thoughts within the man.
Due to the above reasons, I have many questions like "How can the man afford to pay the electricity?", "Is he working and if yes, why cannot he afford to buy decent food?", "Why I have 5 TVs in static?", "Why is the door next to the TV locked shut?", "How can the victim in the cage and the man survive by eating only shrimp?", Who are those four people in the picture?" and many more.
There is one part when I thought I can make choices where I was given 2 options to reply the girl, but I don't think choosing either option makes any difference.
Besides, due to the disturbing manner this game potrays on suicide, I think a player should be given the option to choose whether to kill or not to kill. Also, I find the ending was a disappointment and when I thought I saw another 4 grey orbs, I could move to see their side of story. However, it was a let down when it just skips to the credit.
Hopefully, if the dev chooses to do another game like this, what I like to see in the game are:-
- A story development in stages (like Day 1, Day 2, Day 40) instead of telling and ending a story abruptly without further analysis.
- More options for players to choose
- The person's thoughts on why and how s/he feels that way
- Longer gameplay
- Story about other people (like what I saw in the ending)
Overall, the only saving grace that I could think of in this game is there is no jump scares.

If you're into the dark and disturbing, you'll like this game. It's very short, but it's free and interesting. Take your time and explore the house, the game loses its charm when it is rushed through. I wish this game had more stories in it, it could be a great passtime :)
-SPOILERS BELOW-
character development is seriously lacking, thus its hard to sympathize with the situation concerning the MC's suicide. we get a glimpse into problems dealing with lack of connection, isolation, family, and obsession. but these issues are presented to the player in a shallow manner.
finally, the strict linearity of the game fundamentally fails to capture a crucial point of suicide, that is, the choice of it.
good parts of the game:
+ concept
+ music
+ the ending that suggests multiple narratives
3/10
It's free. It's disturbing. It ends while making you think it's only beginning... It's a message. It's a walk inside the skin of another human.
Warning, this game may ruin your day.
Do you enjoying asking yourself, "What the fuck did I just play?" Then you will enjoy this! I'm only recommending it because it's free. It's a freaky, weird, 15 minute experience that isn't so much good or bad as uncomfortable.
it makes you think if suicide... is really the answer i thought about doing it many times and when i played this it made me sad cause the guy you play as doesnt care anymore but he thinks about his family and friends he would hurt in the long run so really the message in this game is... is suicide really worth it
Alright so I've looked at a few reviews on here and I just cant see how you give this a bad recomendation. You get everything you expect, hell its even free.
Very little play time at present but its evident that more options are going to be released, at the moment its around 10 mins of play time if you rush through
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CtUp-N1Dco here is a quick little video I did to show people whats involved and how deep this game can get.
I fully think you should download this game and give it a try, its a small download and is a quick game.... You have nothing to lose
Its short but its very well made!
I have a weak spot for indie games, im honest here. I like most of them.
The fact that someone can do this without the budget of a huge company gets my respect. When the game makes you wanne play again (like this one) i love it!
A very dark game , doesn't really hit the spot once you play it.
But close the game and you slowly get engulfed in the horror that you tried experiencing someone's last day
the static speaks my name
First of all, the game deals with the theme of suicide, so don't play it if you think this could be too disturbing for you.
It's hard to describe this game in an objective way. For the graphic, I can tell you It's pretty simple and as for the sounds, the music is haunting and gloom. It fits perfectly with the the atmosphere of the game.
There's not much gameplay, you'll move inside your house (the only ambient in the game) with W,A,S,D, move your view with the mouse and interact with some objects with E.
The game only lasts 10 minutes, depending on how much time you'll spend exploring the rooms in the house, but you'll think a lot after the ending. The game doesn't give many answers to your questions, so everyone can interpret it in their own way.
