Intriguing title, although the game is exactly what the title promises. This is an introspective 2D platformer, with a main character who is alone. He is pondering switches, flowers, walls and forcefields. The levels are built like diaries, the somewhat grave soundtrack, combined with the Victorian era clothing of the main character add to the somehow moribund nature and atmosphere of the game. The formal language stays that of a standard platform game. Switches, flowers, walls and forcefields.
Now, what makes the game special isn’t so very special at all anymore, but still special enough to mention: You have to interact with your past self. You are so alone that nobody but yourself can help you. The Company Of Myself. Braid showed us how possible that is, yes. It is nicely implemented, though, the dialog keeps you playing, and soon you will be stacking your current selves on top of your past selves that have faded away for the good cause.
