Lucky spanish speaking people, I would love to play this, any translators?

Yes, absolutely.

Is this a fucking picture of your computer screen? This game looks awesome.

at risk of sounding melodramatic (forgive me but i have strong feelings for "video games"):

I would without second thought say that Wither is (positively) similar to Yume Nikki, not just because of the deliciously morose feel that teeters on despair (with tiny little sprinkles of hope here and there), but more importantly because the game really becomes what you make of it. Everything is open to interpretation; it makes you feel and think and feel and think some more until it's 2am and you're staring at the title screen lost in thoughts and feelings that are hard to describe.

I think I have thought about and analyzed and pondered and wondered at Wither definitely more than any other RM game since Yume Nikki, and more than the vast majority of indie/commercial games I have played. In this Wither is very, very different from the norm.

(man now i know i have to get out my review asap, i wrote something more comprehensible there and have a lot of theories that i would like to run by the developer...)

Haha,those are the feelings I wanted to instill in players! It was kinda based in my own experience with Silent Hill 2, which was the first game that made me want to try to figure out what was going on. I read plot analyses online, went to forums, discussed theories, and in general had a blast. I wanted to make a game like that, one that forced you to pay attention to figure out what was going on. Of course I always run the risk of people just saying "I don't get it" and not enjoying it at all :/

Ah! That's not against calunio personally at all! I really admire him and find his games really smart.

Also, mellytan, I'd love to hear your theories.

PS: Holy shit one thousand downloads, what happened.

Wow I thought you'd decided not to write me a review! This day just keeps getting better ;)

But he only dies after he crosses the river... What you thought up until that point is the truth.
