You successfully communicated themes of being elderly (albeit the darker ones) in a shorter amount of time than a great film generally can. This game is like a concise poem, and your words are pacing, tone and forced narrative. I really though it was truly great and had the effect that any great piece of art does on me, be it a painting, a song or a movie. I look forward to your next work.

Got here from an article at Gamasutra and played the game. Well thought out and thought-provoking. Bravo.

I’m guessing this has something to do with Alzhiemers or Dementia
It’s so terrible, my mum works in a home that cares for elderly people like this but I never realised how much they take the humanity away from them…
Great game.

If I had to guess, my guess would be that it’s not finding the various resources (images/&c.) – I’ll help where I can if you find yourself so engaged with this enterprise so as to continue your efforts, but I’m guessing your next logical step would be to run it through a debugger and see what exactly’s not working.
