I chose the black character from the beginning and thought "why the hell does that matter?". Then I played the game and thought you had actually a bug in the code, because it was so amazingly hard to play (I had already forgotten about the character I had chosen) and wanted to complain about that in the comments. Then I read your description of the game, retried and for the first time selected the white character to see if it got easier. Had I seen the "Sorry, this character is not playable" message before, I might have understood it or I might have thought "too bad the game was not finished in time".\r\rBut then I (finally) understood. Then I noticed the title of the game.\r\rMyself being a straight, white man "in his best years" in a country with a white majority, it is hard to notice all the privileges one hase (and simply the personal rights that practically always respected by authorities and other people).\r\rAs someone who tries to learn to notice the differences in treatment depending on skin color, gender or sexual orientation and reads a lot about the topic, I thought "oh, I am so educated on the topic, I would see the problem immediately". Thanks for putting me straight! I think this is a very important "game". Everyone should play it. It's just a "game" and I can't imagine how frustrating and frightening this problem must be for people who have to face it in real life.\r\rBesides that, it is beautifully made and the writing is (depressingly) good and authentic.\r\rThanks for making this game! And thanks for trying to run my game and commenting on it, even though it didn't run on your machine."},{"author_name":"CodeNMore","author_uid":"33942","time":"Dec 16, 2014 @ 12:55am","epoch":1418691000,"text":"I love the mini-game aspect and, I HATE to say it, but it was kind of like 1-D flappy bird :) I liked it!"},{"author_name":"01rafael","author_uid":"11984","time":"Dec 29, 2014 @ 5:24am","epoch":1419830340,"text":"Psychodelic!"},{"author_name":"whilefun","author_uid":"7424","time":"Jan 11, 2015 @ 9:48pm","epoch":1421012580,"text":"Thank you to everyone for playing, and for your comments and ratings! :)"}],"images":["ld31\/7424-4cb3299b03db17f41bfb91fe895cc740.jpg","ld31\/7424-c48fbe405ec8361e189402c9f2b8f239.jpg","ld31\/7424-45a9186618464b7f21f4992d6d4d8f71.jpg","ld31\/7424-41f052a23c851c9d89a6a60d43de482e.jpg","ld31\/7424-6b3696221990e4e3247b23daa159c686.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/48628018\/LD31_entire_game_on_one_screen_whilefun.rar","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/48628018\/LD31_entire_game_on_one_screen_whilefun.rar","text":"Source"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_lHo7sV1G8s","text":"Timelapse"},{"url":"http:\/\/whilefun.com\/liberty","text":"Notebook"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"15225","g_author":"7424","g_event":"LD31","g_eventkey":"26","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"15255","g_title":"Liberty and Justice For All*","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"614","g_commentcount":"20","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/7424-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/7424-shot1.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/7424-shot2.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/7424-shot3.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/7424-shot4.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"This game is an attempt to provide some window into what life is like living as a person of color and interacting with the police.
