If you got about 2 hours to spare, make sure you do it with this one.
It's been a while since I played that game. But every time I just think about it, it brings me to tears.

This game allows you to play purely with your mouse; the webcam is OPTIONAL. It advertises strongly on you needing a webcam to play it, and while it adds to the experience, I feel it's not necessary.

Now this game is another one heavy on the story side. What I almost love more than the game itself is the music. Its implementation of the webcam is unique, but that's about it for gameplay. You're just there to witness, and tell your story.

You have died. A ferryman fishes your soul out of an eternal sea. While you're travelling, he wants to hear your story. What do you remember of your life? What made your life so great? What made your soul so valueable?
So you go back to the very beginning... and you start telling your story. About the decisions you've made. How you grew up. What interests you've had. The people you've met and loved. The life you pursued and the dreams you chased.
This story filled me with all sorts of emotions. It was so fun, and colorful! So happy and loving! It almost makes you sad for how perfect it all was.
But... this is life. You will find that good things can't always stay this way.
And it is frightening. It is very, very frightening. I swear I have never seen any game deliver the feeling of death as strongly as this one. It took my breath away.

In the end, it helped me. To understand; all of this.
This game delivers a message most powerful. If you are struggling, take a seat, and take a look within.
