He has a fascination with the different applications of death in games (He also made Karoshi, a game where the goal is to kill yourself, and my personal favorite, Deaths, in which 50 of the deaths of players who came before you are stored on your screen, and you have to use their body parts to pass certain obstacles.) I don't think this game is a statement, or work of art, as much as it is an exploration on the idea of death in games. It's not trying to make you feel bad, it's just taking an established gamey idea (that death is either inconsequential or impermanent) and standing it on its head, just to see what happens.

Obviously. Why would I kill a helpless human being? There are virtually no valid reasons for doing that, and the game didn't even try to give me one. I won back when I played it. Obviously.

It's more of a sermon than an argument. Man, what is with games that permanently close themselves off once you play them a certain way or make a certain decision? I agree.
