i had no idea what to expect from this, a near zero review rpgmaker game. i was browsing the rpgmaker games and laughed at the old man i didnt recognize on the title screen and that's what intrigued me. this was a wild ride. i played this with a friend watching and we were spitballing what we thought was happening and was immediately thrown off. overall, great! i want to play it again and get the other ending. the questions were very compelling and i found myself stumped on what to answer. my friend is now interested in the works that inspired you to make this game. super cool man! :)4 found this helpful
A Life of Author is less a conventional game than a philosophical provocation, staging a quiet but persistent inquiry into authorship, consciousness, and the fractured self. Through its implicit engagement with dualism, the game dissolves the illusion of a unified identity, positioning the player simultaneously as creator and construct, will and constraint. Meaning here is not revealed but manufactured under pressure, stripped of transcendental assurances and divine arbitration. Religious frameworks, when implicitly contrasted, appear as epistemic shortcuts, offering narrative closure where the game insists on ambiguity and intellectual responsibility. In rejecting metaphysical consolation, A Life of Author aligns itself with a secular, existential outlook that treats uncertainty not as a failure of understanding but as its precondition, ultimately suggesting that to live, like to write, is to act without guarantees and accept authorship of one’s own incompleteness. Thank you for this.2 found this helpful
I want to play this so badly, but it always freezes :( It wasn't bad so far, amused me couple times... And even had great points I wasn't aware of some time... OMG can you make Nietzsche game too? I wrote email waiting for support! Don't read if you don't want to be ULTRA DEPRESSED!!! BTW this game gives me existential feelings: like there should be something more than this, world is so boring and monotonous/homogenous... Schopenhauer said: real is rarely is sufficient in providing diversity and capturing interest of genius: https://iep.utm.edu/boredom/ I have insane Object Petit A, i am bored of all known objects to humanity, i felt like there should be something more meaningful, like glimpse to another universe, but then i come out of my dreams and look: and there isn't: how strange! Even power is boring: it is illusion and you have to serve interests of other ppl... Like it wouldn't be enough life is pendulum between pain and boredom, yet we have Object Petit A: expecations and concepts we made in our mind about things, that don't even exist and are not even possible to satisfy... It is stange tho, when i wrote this i recalled flash back of a reality unlike others where everythi…1 found this helpful
