This is... So interesting, so different. I really like your games. The Don't Escape series is awesome, gives a feeling of pressure and suspense. Every choice matters, everything you do will affect you. And this game isn't different, the same "crucial choices" idea keeps coming up.
Initially, when I played this the first time, I agreed to playing chess and I died. So I thought, "man, this AI is a d***! Next playthrough I'm finding a way to leave him behind!" So I played it again. And here I sit, at my desk, typing a review right after choosing to stay with the AI and die. I think you really know how to bring those feelings out in other people, how to spark thought and make everyone really think about the repercussions of their decisions, to consider viewpoints they have dismissed before. Great game.
