At first glance I was really “put off” by this game. I felt like the graphics were a little dated, I felt like the game just wasn’t intuitive enough to to really play, but then I came across a really high-contrasted black and white area and about “halfway” through it something clicked in me emotionally. The technical aspect of the game was no longer a forethought and all I saw was something so ugly, dreamlike, and beautiful. Like I was in a dream I was fighting to remember and forget as it was taking place. The writing is beautiful and profound, yet I think, as with any art with any real depth, I took something from it completely different than another person playing the game would.

I really love how the low-res imagery grew on me. I haven’t “beaten” the game yet, but I think as a reward you should have access to some or all of the stills in that game. Would make an awesome desktop background or something. I’d even by a book full of its images.

I would love to see a rebuild of this game (for compatibility only). I’m a Windows 7 user, but the patch seemed to work. To get by a security issue, I had to download the patch, then delete the original .exe, then move the new .exe into the folder. For some reason windows didn’t want to delete and replace all at once, but then the magic happened.

I will be sure to check by this page every week or so and play the game when it is done. I’m very glad to hear this is still being worked on. I can’t wait to see the game when it’s done.

The suggested ending is also quite radically different.

From the moment I entered this world I was a bit skeptical about this game’s ability to make me feel any sort of emotional attachment, but then, I saw the Tower.

Yes, the tower next to the save and load menus, that tower with a single dark object on it. I could not help but thing of the museum as some sort of tower.
Then, I realized what was happening.
The story, the eternal broken wheel off fire, the man that is forced to live his own life time and again, the references to Blake, I’ll be dammed if I wasn’t playing some sort of dreamlike representation of “The Dark Tower” series. And i’ll be dammed if it didn’t make a connection with my emotions, perhaps as much as the book did.

Thank you for making this game, but a bit of a special thanks to good ol’ Stephen K. wouldn’t be out of place ya know?

I will definitely tell my friends about this game, both fans of the dark tower, and people who have no idea what the dark tower is.
