If you play this and think it's just 'glitching' then maybe you need to slow down and really think about what's going on. The dude thinks he's the hero but the player slowly starts to view beyond the character's version of the world and starts to see reality for what it really is... a guy slaying innocent creatures in a happy little valley and not some hero slaying evil knights. Great job on the theme, and NIIIIICE job on the visual effects. It's rather short and not very challenging as a 'game', but it is a very thought provoking experience.

And I think i followed the theme pretty well, just play through it, it isn't long. Hopefully then it will be clear, otherwise I should have polished it a little bit more, but the time was short. I won't talk more about it, otherwise the whole experience gets spoiled and thats nothing I want to do.\r\n\r\nThe game is build with impact.js. Sound and music is from bfxr.
