really cool game.

first time i played it, i just walk right all the way to the end. met the girl very early...very boring. second time i played it, i walked down the maze, opened all the boxes...less boring, but still died alone at the end. third time i played it, i met the girl try to walk around the maze, but i can't go to those tight spaces, pretty frustrating. the 4th and last time i played the game, i walked around the maze open the boxes, and met the girl right before i die, but she is pretty old too...she died pretty quickly and so did i.

couple of thing i got out of the game.
1) life is pretty boring...things happens, they might appear to be different, but deepdown they're basically the same.
2) once you get married, you can't go anywhere or do whatever you want
3) you can choose to live a steady boring life, or you can choose to explore the world (or a mix of the two). nothing will change, and you die at the end regardless.
4) sad realization that my life is pretty mich pointless...all ups and downs in life are all temporary. you shouldn't get hang up on winning or losing on some game or some minor injustice.


the graphics is horrible, but pretty cool theme.

the graphics is horrible, but pretty cool theme.

The game was created for Kokoromi's Gamma256 events where game designers were challenged to make a game with graphics comprised of fewer than 256x256 pixels.

Passage's graphics register at well under that limit at 100x16 pixels.
