Interesting game. I am not going to sleep well because of the
distortion of the characters.
Yeah, those characters you see, LVUER. Google Zalgo and click the first link. >_< It's actually kinda creepy.

Was there 2 endings? just trying to make sure I did not miss anything.

The first thing that brought me to the game was pacifism is the title, which promised a different style game. which it was, not a drop of romance. The other notable thing was the pixel art. "<3" is the best way to express my thoughts on that.

This game is really original and creative. I loved the pixel art!
I got the feeling that the story is backwards in time though: makes more sense if he meets his friends first, goes to the meeting, guy explains how to program stuff as we wants and then he decides to quit because everything is so violent and bloody.
Also,
I think the sprit distortion is because the cat disagrees so much with everything that is strong inner hate is creating illusions and making the others looks ugly...
I'm definitely going to play other games this artist has made :D .

I really liked this game along with Air Pressure. I like the pixellated retro sprites, and appreciate that the game (like Air Pressure) is doing something different with Ren'Py. As to my interpretation of the game?
For a start, while the game does play around with the idea perception I didn't think it was saying anything nearly so glib as "life is how you see it", or glasses being half empty/full - I think that the game is much smarter than that. The situation the character is placed in is pretty horrible irrespective of how he reacts to it.

Face it - he's working with a bunch of people who think that waterboarding is 'cool' video-game idea. *gag* And I don't think that WE are supposed to see it as anything less than repugnant, regardless of how the character reacts. Even if the character submits, I don't think that OUR perception (as players) of his workplace and work is supposed to automatically shift in line with the characters... I think the title was pretty self-explanatory actually - that the irony is that being a resistant pacifist - means that you're kind of at war. It puts you at odds with other people and actually involves more conflict and difficulty than going along to get along. The other thing that I got out of it was how easy it is for people find it to adjust to things that they are uneasy with or may initially condemn. It's easy to be complacent. To take the pacifist route, you have to fight and resist.

I liked the fact that the resistant ending didn't change the workplace or his work mates, and that he wasn't heaped with any obvious "reward", aside from getting the hell out of there.
