About How To Cope With Boredom and Loneliness

Hello. I'm Nigel Wimble.

Tonight I am filming my final episode of How to Cope with Boredom and Loneliness: A Guide for the Isolated. I am meeting with Harold Fletcher, a 43 year old man who has been grounded to his bedroom for over 30 years.

Help me create an award winning documentary by picking the right scenes to shoot. Explore Harold's bedroom to find items that might shed some light on how he's coped with the boredom and loneliness from 30 years of isolation. Then we'll get the camera rolling!

Once the scenes are chosen you can sit back and watch the documentary unfold. Then we'll see what the focus group thinks. Let's make some hard hitting TV! Choose the most on theme items for the perfect score.

How to Cope with Boredom and Loneliness joins the crowded 'create your own documentary simulator' market but we hope to stand out with a touching story and memorable characters.

Features

  • No real gameplay
  • 20 minutes you wont get back
  • A joke that makes you laugh through your nose
  • Music
  • Realtime 2D visuals
  • Something to do while you download a proper game

What started life as a humble Ludum Dare project, HTCBL has since blossomed into a questionably better but still humble experience. It is less a game and more of a cartoon generator with dozen of scenes to combine with multiple intros and outros. We hope you enjoy it and play it multiple times to create all the possible documentaries.

✦ AI summary

How to Cope with Boredom and Loneliness is a short, free game (completable in about 30 minutes) praised for its clever writing, dark satire on reality TV and isolation, and memorable moments like its bee rap segment that players found genuinely funny and charming. The game uses full-motion 2D graphics and documentary-style clips to create an intriguing experience, though some players note the dark humor and mean-spirited comedy won't appeal to everyone's taste.

[h3]A Quick Game[/h3] Actually a rather naughty quick game when it gets down to it's nuts and bolts. As free games go , you can either try to unlock all of the accomplishments, or just go for the ....erm, the ending. If I say more, I'll get some of the readers too excited. This is supposed to be a game about boredom after all. No more on that topic! How to Cope with Boredom and Loneliness is all the way full-motion 2D bitmap graphics! Yes in full motion, it's epic 8bit it really is, maybe it's 256 bit, well, it should be. And just go ahead and install it because it will not melt your screen. Try to find all the possible documentary shots. For more curious and mind friendly Free games heck out some of these : https://store.steampowered.com/curator/41773079-EmpathyGames/list/93017
