We strongly suggest playing the game before you read this post. It will only take a few minutes.

pretty interesting, i thought.

Interesting game. I chose to work everyday to find a cure.

Spoiler

I ended up living. The last scene is the guy and daughter sitting on a bench in the park.

whoa, sad

 

[Dankk]

That was kind of a surreal experience. Each day got more and more depressing...

Edit: At least it was for me, I probably would've lived if I wouldn't have chosen to have sex with that one woman

So they have to... repopulate the planet?

just right click it, go to settings and set the amount of info that can be saved on your pc to none.

Chrome->Incognito Window

I would think IE's version of that would work as well.

If you just go to work, you eventually find a cure. I tried not going to work on the first day without any success.

I played that for about 2 minutes before deciding that it was probably just a bad joke on the player. Is there any point to it at all?

There are 5 or 6 different things you can do each day besides the normal routine. If you talk to the elevator lady she will tell you how many you have left. Once you have completed all the different tasks, the game has a special ending. Some of the things are hard to find.

Ah, thanks I might give it another shot, I was wondering if the whole point was just repeating very boring things in a very dull world, heh.

 

[zokudu]

I found a cure and lived with my daughter. Wife killed herself though.

5 or 6 different things? Where?! I've walked left and right everywhere and the same interaction functions pop up.

Sure, some conversation text pops up but no options except Get into car, drive to work, either go to lab or roof (nothing at the roof except jumping coworker). I read comments about taking the daughter to the lab, but where the fuq is the option?! I was beared and slumped into each room and found no one, not dead wife or barely-alive daughter.

Wow from reading the comments, it looks like this game is a real uplifter.

My reply about the 5 or 6 things was for the other game that was linked in post #8, not the OP link.
