Happy news indeed, but I have to admit that Passage is the most important bit... Can't recommend it enough. Oh, and do try it more than once...

I tried it three times now, and to be honest I feel like I've just been wasting time.

I like Passage, though I think one problem with it is, like The Marriage, you don't really fully get it unless you read the author's notes/statement. And I think that's a flaw, albeit a minor one, because a game should stand on its own without requiring too much explanation to get it. Now there are people who get it without that explanation of course, but I am just kind of against making the author's explanations a recommended part of the experience of the work.

But it's certainly one of the best indie games of the year, I agree.

I wanted to point out amongst the nice update, Passage was an amazing experience.

Oh, SPOILER ALERT, I suppose:

I didn't really know what was going on at first, thinking that if I moved to the right that it would be less blurry, but then I realized what was happening.

By the time we were old and gray, I was really afraid for the moment that one of us would pass away.
