Poll: Every Day The Same Dream

[KanHanderan]

In Extra Credit's "Games You May Not Have Heard Of (Or Tried)," they mentioned a flash game called Every Day The Same Dream. As a fan of the show, I decided to check it out, and found a haunting, compulsion-creating experience. If you've played it, tell the forum about your experience.

Yeah, I played it before Extra Credit's showed it (aren't I just so indie? lol jk) the game was pretty interesting, but not my favorite art game.

Pretty ambiguous game, but with a deep meaning nevertheless. Go give it a try. It only takes 5-10 mins to complete it.

I have played it before. There was actually a thread about the game a while back (re: months back), and I found out about and played it then. I thought it was pretty good, but there are better "arty" flash games out there that actually have more engaging gameplay than "press left or right".

havent played it before now. it looks pretty interesting.

I swear I played that game ages ago...
When didn't come out?

If it is the same game hen I, personally, didn't find it all that amazing. Whether I just didn't pick up the subtler meanings I don't know, but it seemed a little ambiguous to me.

played it a while ago, long before it was ever mentioned on Extra Credits

How bizarre.

Spoiler: my experience

I played through three times - the first time I went to got dressed, left, stroked a cow, arrived at work and then killed myself. Second time I decided not to get dressed; the cow wasn't there, and when I got to work I was fired. Then the third time I got dressed, drove to work and did my job.

Yeh I played it but only after Extra Credits (im a noob arent I). It was a little too artsy whilst no having good actual gameplay, still the meaning behind it all is really thought out and well done.

I "played" it before EC mentioned it; wasn't terribly impressed. I don't need my games to be artsy; more often than not it ends up being shallow, like some kid pointing out things nobody mentions because they assume everyone has noticed and thought about these things already.

I played it when it showed up on Alt+Escape.
Lot's of interesting, artsy-fartsy games there.

I probably had to restart the day several times for I realized how to do things differently.
