Go to the "downloads" and you can get it for Mac or Windows (you might want to try on your computer if you have one, not a campus one).

AFTER you play the game (it takes 5 minutes or so), write a response and reaction of what you think the game means (or what it means to you).

Ok, now wait until you've written it. Now move on..

Read this statement by the maker:

...how does this compare to what you thought the game was about? Was there an emotional response for you? If so, how can something so simple draw an emotional reaction? Do video games have as much potential for an emotional story as movies? If movies are considered art, what about video games?
