I've just released Today I Die:


Play

Enjoy!

[HybridMind]

This game was quite surprising and awesome!  The first time I played it I didn't get very far at all and was quite confused.  Then I stumbled on some screenshots over on indie games that helped me a little to know there was much more to it.

After knowing there was more... I really had a great experience with this game.  I even thought I had got to the end and was just enjoying the music and what I thought was the final part... but as I stared at it I messed around a little more and was quite happy to discover even more to the game.

I'm being a little vague on purpose to not do any spoilers. 

The music really added to the emotional impact of this game and I like how the feeling and message continues to change with the words and scenes.  Congrats on a great game!

That was a great experience! I love this game, it was very well made. The gameplay (I guess it'd be called this, without spoiling anything) was really clever, IMO. Took a bit before I figured out what to do, but I enjoyed the game all the way.

I enjoyed this game and so should everyone else 

[kyn]

Beautiful, beautiful experience. At first I was about to quit not knowing what to do, but knowing your previous games I persisted and it was worth it. Congratulations and thank you for this game.

[astrospoon]

This was really wonderful.

I just wish something like this could have some replay value in it. It makes me sad to think that there aren't longer game experiences this ... heartwarming?

Instead of the usual heart shooting, stabbing, ripping out of chest, etc. that is the "default" game play of most games. (Not that I hate all games centered on violence...)

Daniel, This is Incredible!  This is probably one of the best games I've played in a while.  Pure genius, really original stuff!  This has got to be front page'd!  I feel like this breaks whole new boundaries in games being meaningful. The music was really really great, it all flowed so well together. Everybody reading this should not pass this game up!

[Tom Sennett]

Groovy. I like the word swapping mechanic.

[lowpoly]

very cool little experience you made, thought the length was perfect. Really glad I didn't give up after the initial confusion

[PGGB]

Great, best one of your games so far.

[JLJac]

Yeah, it's your best. Really great work, innovative and fun. I interpret it as if you change the way you think about things you can also change your actual situation for the better, which is really good to be reminded of sometimes. I like that the character's eyes were moving, it added some life to it.

Good little pussle game, you have my vote

[JoeHonkie]

I love these things.  Sweet.

[mark]

As always very deep and touching.

[Lurk]

Great game, ambiance and very uplifting message. Love the graphics.

[Tomato]

Every time an artful, experimental game like this is made, I become a little bit more optimistic for the future of indie games. Thanks.

[AaronAardvark]

I like your games.
I really like this one!

[Curseman]

Nice job, I've played through the other games on your site previously, and I think this is your best one.

My biggest complaint is that it seems somewhat short.

[Daniel Benmergui]

Thanks for your feedback!

It's a short game, yes... I made several prototypes of it, some of which could classify as different games... I will probably publish them later, since they show the evolution of the game.

Some of the earlier ones look very crude and the mechanics is so obviously wrong it's laughable. Of course, it's easier to see now.

[mark]

Uh, I just found a second ending...interesting.

[Levin]

It's simply wonderful kudos Daniel  (so far, I've found only the first ending >.<)

[Notch]

Oh, wow. You're a very strange person, but you're also a very awesome person. I enjoyed this thoroughly.
