I'm a 15 year old solo developer from Sweden, and this is my passion project I've been working on for about 1.5 years. It's a very personal game, with almost every tiny detail having its own little story to tell. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed creating it :)

so, here you go, whoever you are. I have seen your posts on reddit about your game and as much as i am trying my best to be supportive for developers like you, i hope i am the first one to buy your game. And you, who reads this, if you are enthusiast like me and if you would like to support developers like this guy, this game is just a very good opportunity to do so. Escape from life inc has fun puzzles, funny dialogues and whole game is just enjoyable. Well, at list first chapter was good enough for me. I just like this kind of games and if you are anything like me, you would probably enjoy it as well.
Heard about this game a while back and have had it on my wishlist. Was super excited to try it today and I'm happy to say that I couldn't stop playing! It was quite a lot of content too! Really good puzzles, a nice compelling story with funny dialogue and lots of little hidden things. Great work! :)
I really want to recommend this game. I like the sweet simple story and the quirky characters. But the controls are just not optimized enough for me to do it. I made it to chapter two before I had to quit. It's really sad, because I really wanted to play it and see whether I would make it out of the lab. So when the developer fixes that, I'll be back as fast as a tick on a cow.
I bought the game after I saw it on imgur. I had a great time playing through all chapters. The puzzles start out fairly easy, but the second half of the game the puzzles become more intricate and some of them are actually quite challenging. The graphics are charming and reminded me of Seeders. Great first published game from a very young developer. Keep it up!
Hmm, This game says Calling people Wimp is bad, Eating/Testing Animal is bad, Yet Mocking Heteros and Obese peoples So Casually and Morbidly. I know it's from a Kid, But The Kid decided to SELL it like a pro, So I can say shit about it. [spoiler]Did you Really had to Kill the Pig and use its corpse to make unnecessary puzzle like that? After this scene Killer just goes like: "Oooo I was unconscious about it Walk it off sry" What was the point of that? Only to mock the Pig to death? Or I am not getting humor or hidden moral? And after this a Robot Dying is sad? Gee, I cannot follow this game's emotional line.[/spoiler]
Lost vikings style plattformer with lots of humor, creative puzzles and a great story. I've played it in Beta and loved it, especially as couch co-op. It's massively impressive that it's made by such a young guy, and all on his own. Super happy to be able to support this with a purchase!
BEST. GAME. EVER. I'm normally not the biggest fan of platformers, but this game's mixture of platformer, puzzle, and comedy sprinkled on top: amazing! I also love how all the characters use they/them pronouns. Overall, I'm so glad I bought this game! I hope there's a sequel
This is a charming puzzle game that will sometimes stump you, but usually everything is quite clear. I haven't finished the game yet, but I loved it from the first moment the game started, and I'm still loving it after several hours. Unlike other reviews, I find the controls are absolutely fine, and have had no trouble getting around. The plot and writing is minimal, and if you don't like puns you'll be groaning, but I like puns, and this game doesn't need more than minimal writing. YMMV. The art is basic, but having grown up in the 80s and 90s, I don't care about graphics as long as the gameplay is good. Everything about this game is charming. It's not perfect, but perfection is the enemy of good. This game is GOOD!
Negatives: 1. Had to rebind my controls twice when I first started (bound them, scene changed and they'd reverted to default), but once I'd quit and started the game back the controls stayed. Probably just an issue with when the gave saves your controls? 2. Walljumps frustrated me. (You have to hold toward the wall until you jump, and then immediately hold away; I believe most games cancel or delay your "toward" press as soon as you walljump which makes it easier to perform? Not sure, but something about the walljumps gave me trouble.) 3. Sometimes got confused about which character was selected (an indicator directly on or around their sprite, or perhaps a HUD element showing who's currently selected, would help). The "ghostly swoosh" that moves between them does help, but if they are close together or you're switching fast, it would be easier to know directly. (Another option would be adding bindings for 1–3 to switch directly to them.) Positives: 1. Fun humor, empathetic characte...
