Thread: Loved: A Game that Makes You Wonder

It's easier to obey, but you give something up in return.

Yeah, that was my first thought. An abusive relationship. It's a very clever demonstration of how people can be manipulated in this way; if you really take it seriously it shows you by putting you in that person's shoes.

That was so scary ;__;

Maybe it's just me making this comparison to everything, but I imagined not only an abusive relationship, but something like a really abusive father, and you're playing as the son / daughter.
I was thinking it could be both things, but what convinced me was that if you obey all the way through, you get asked again "Are you a boy or a girl?" and since I answered Man the first time, I answered girl this time, he said; No, you are a woman.

Just like, really dominating and manipulative ;_; Oh god

Yo, these the same people that made 'coma?'

That really creeped me out. But yeah I get it... The I got genuinely angry at the voice, and at the end when it was like "I want you to stay" in my head i was like "Yeah whatever, I'm outta here" *walks off*

I think I'll play it again, but from the opposite angle. What's coma?

Just played it again and I can honestly say, it gave me chills... At the end, everything was black and white, colourless, and I climbed a steep and jagged hill.

I think the colorful/abusive relationship themes are correct. However, I think it is multifaceted. It is easier in to just do what you are told, (even if it may make life harder in some ways long term,) not only in relationships but in general. Being a thinker makes things harder and those that disagree with you may resent your careful thought even if they never consider their own opinions much. Also, the world is less colorful and interesting as you obey but much more clear and well defined, (thinking doing what you are told makes life have more clarity even if it is duller since the more questions you ask, the more you realize how little you know. Things are in moral shades of gray, and turquoise and red and yellow- not just black and white like the follower sees.)

So while the emotional abuser themes are the most direct I think it applies on a larger scale.

This is coma. http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/541124

Played coma, not as creepy but when I came across the writing on the walls (e.g This world is a lie. Wake up Pete) I was like But I've always been interested to what happens to people in comas, so it was good
