    So apparently the corollary to Chekhov’s gun is “Don’t put a computer on stage unless someone uses it for mindfucking shenanigans”?

    Another great one, as usual, I must thank you Stephen, as well as Terry, for another enjoyable, if not somewhat depressing at times game ^^

    I really enjoyed this one. Thank you Mr Lavelle and Mr Cavanagh, you do great work.

    I did experience a bug, though; the game froze on the computer screen twice (though I was able to wait it out both times without refreshing the page), and after the second time, the babby and the Buttercup both had the cross symbol.

    Nice how at the end the ‘whole family’ didn’t include Eimear in it. This game brought some pretty sad feelings in me.
    I tried experimenting with giving all the possible personalities to your kin, and (imo) the most favourable outcome for Eimear would have been Mammy->Daddy, Buttercup->Mammy, Babby->Buttercup and Daddy->Babby.
    But no, Eimear simply wanted everything to come back to how it was before. And in the end she wouldn’t even be considered in the ‘whole’ of the family? jeez, that’s some grieving finale! I mean, they all apologized to Eimear and all, but i think that their last statement deliberately excluded Eimear from the ‘family’. (at least, in my interpretation.)

    Anyhow great job Lavelle! (and terry) Thanks for producing such great works! :)

    This game is truly a remarkable experience. I didn’t even know how I felt at the end.

    Amazing work, this one. Reminded me of Adam Cadre’s Shrapnel somewhat.

    [...] Oiche Mhaith er et kynisk og vederstyggeligt, der ikke desto mindre gør en hel masse ting rigtigt: Spillet er kort og med enkel sædvanlig spilgrafik, men emnet er børnemishandling. Emnet er dog behandlet med den største respekt, og resultatet er et art-game, der kan spilles af alle. Det er  et spil, der demonstrerer, at interaktive historiefortællinger kan handle om andet end biler, bryster og zombier. [...]
