Thoughts about "The Static Speaks My Name" (spoilers)
First off, i'm going to explains somethings in the the game and then say my thoughts while on the topic.

When you start the game you are greated with "lovely" face and the words "Today will be a better day," i'm guessing the protagonist just wants to help happy, or have a meaning life. The protagonist rolls over in his bed to show us that it's 3:22AM, why 3:22? now i'm depressed but i don't wake up/set my alarm to 3:22, but whatever floats his boat (or shrimp). You are then given the task to go to the bathroom, okay so far so good. Task two say to eat breakfast, still normal? no. There isn't food in the Kitchen so guess what? You get to eat, Live, Raw, Shrimp. Pull them right out of the fish tank too. Thanks for the sounds game, THANKS. After your nightmare you go on the computer to talk to a "friend," the game give choices on what you can say,but what choices? its always the same.Now, you can go clean the microwave. wow, really? couldn't use that for the shrimp? anyways, its Finally gives you to decide what to do with the man in the cage. "What cage?' you may say, ya'know the one behind the bookself and then behind the vault door. You have the choice to let him go, or electrocute him. (There are probably other ways but i don't know them) After you choose, the next task is to "go to your room and let your body rest" Oh so go to sleep? NOPE, GO IN THAT ROOM AND THEN LET YOU BODY REST.

This game... my gosh.

Really unsettling and depressed me the hell out:steamsad:, but really well made. That painting was pretty sexy too.

Well, to me this game seams to be about the meaning of life, or lack thereof. There are a lot of hints in the game that shows that the person you're playing is trying to do something and realizes he cannot do and will never be able to do anything significant. Even the few steps you have to take before going crazy and saving/killing the man in the cage are so mundane that they show you, by contrast with the two last instructions how futile your character's existence is.

Afterword their was 6 other "entities" or whatever, i hoverd over them and they were other people that commit suicide in different ways

i thought pushing e would allow me to live as them (like you did with the first guy) BUT NOOOOOOO

the game cuts to the credits and shuts down
