Honestly truly one of the best games I have ever played, I have seen many games in my time but none quite as bold as this one. I really did find the emotional implications at the end in the bedroom with that hooded guy. I have to say the padlock puzzle hurt my tiny little brainium. Please make more games exactly like this. Please I am begging you.
