Van Damme

They made a computer game out of my life. It’s called Tenshi no Inai Jyuunigatsu. Read the Canned Dogs description of the game, to see what I mean. For starters, it’s not a romance game. (So true!)

For the sake of posterity, since I can’t figure out a good way to permanently link to the relevant text:

Going further into the game, the protagonist is a person who could probably be best described as somebody who has lost his direction in life. Troublesome is the word he uses to describe the act of living, and the reason for not committing suicide, as he contemplates, is because it too, is too troublesome. Yet, he is not the suicidal or despressed (sic) person, just somebody who has found himself caught up in the absurdity of modern life.

I have not finished the game, or even reached a far enough point to confidently speak about this, but the possible themes that I have noticed are the futility of living, the absurdity of life, the harshness of reality, and the wavering of the human soul.

Now, I couldn’t stare anybody in the eye and tell ’em that I’ve experienced a harsh reality…but the rest strikes home, sadly enough.
