I've played several haunting/sad flash games, but in the case of yours, I'm amazed at how the very minimal elements you use manage to be so evocative. A lesser game might have incorporated more text, for example. Seriously, awesome work. Yet another round of applause for Don’t Look Back.

I know MANY bitter old 30-something gamers like me who pine for the "good old games" and the pleasure games used to give us when we were young. Is our nostalgia some sort of indication of the bitterness many of us feel that the happiness of childhood is no longer there? Am I reading to much into this? Or is it a simple design choice to go early 8-bit?
