It is a pretty dark short free walking simulator about somebody committing suicide, suicide simulator if you wish. You know the weird side of YouTube? I think this fits in what should be called the weird side of Steam :D Due to the sensitive nature of the content I do not advise anybody in the critical stages of a severe depression to play this game, or even watch this video. I think it is better for those people to be directed to more pleasant (achievable) stuff, than killing themselves. (Spoiler alert! Obviously, altough I missed something in my playthrough) The Static Speaks My Name - Free Steam Game Playthrough https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVTwsq-qfH4 0:00 Starting the game, prologue, that damn alarm clock! 2:17 Use toilet. 2:49 Books. 5:48 Chat online with friends, use computer. 7:00 Clean the microwave. 10:40 Epilogue.
The games seems to depict a dark descent into a murder/suicide situation. A strange world where palm trees and twisted dark thoughts guide you to your inevitable outcome. This game with simple gameplay, and decent graphics is definitely worth the price of Admission... FREE. But be warned, it is a very short game, with a dark ending that may not suit everyone. Don't take my word for it, and check out my video by clicking on the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqL66WhN4ak
interesting. honestly I feel like this is the kind of game that you're gonna love or you're gonna hate. I haven't decided how i feel about it. It's very short, about ten minutes, and in that time, I was made to feel all sorts of things. On one hand, I was mostly disturbed. But on the other hand, I was also sort of fascinated. Poor shrimp, though. And poor man in the cage! I'm glad I had the option to free him. I can't say if i recommend the game or not, though. It honestly depends on the person. It's great for the kind of game that it is, but this kind of game isn't for everyone. lol. Whoever is interested in these kind of games should try it to see for themselves, though.
