The Last Soul by Gaeel
The Last Soul is a short story about the last living being.
Find your way to the monolith and exit this world solemnly and gracefully.
Nota Bene:
Some people have issues running the game through the love executable. I'm afraid this is due to my using a custom version, and I don't remember where I got it.
It's technically 0.8 (people getting nil value errors are using an incorrect version number) but there is a crash on the official 0.8 version due to a glitch in the audio code which was never fixed. Your best option is running the game in Windows (wine runs this pretty well too if like me you're a 'nux enthusiast).
Also, I know there are two physics glitches:
The first causes the character to vibrate when you run into a wall. I recommend not running into walls because it breaks the illusion. This is due to the orientation of the character being bound to his movement rather than his intent.
The second causes jumping while running on a downwards slope to often fail. This is due to me not listening in math class and writing horrible geometry and physics code.

It remembers me of "Nina Have Faith"! :-)
wonderwhy-er: The creator of "Another World", Eric Chahi hangs out at our media lab for our bi-weekly game dev conference, maybe I should show him this XD
free_napalm: I don't remember the soundtrack from that movie, but I remember it being very strange, maybe I'll watch it again sometime.
Thanks again for the praise, it means a lot!
When player fall down in "unreachable area", game teleports player back. This looking as glitch.
However the mechanics were a bit sloppy! For example, you can't jump while running down a slope...
But don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed this game a lot :) Well done
Pity, the graphics look nice and people are very positive about it!
Kept crashing on me but updating Love seemed to fix that.
