I love this game. I know I'm nowhere near having found all the secrets and endings, but I'm satisfied with how much I've discovered. Sometimes I go on and play around a bit more, looking for things I hadn't thought of before.
My favorite part was getting the 430 achievement. I wonder if you really do get an achievement for leaving the game running for 24 hours (an entire Tuesday), or leaving it for 5 years then coming back. I haven't managed the speed run yet - every time I try, I get distracted by something.
Actually, the guys who made the game are really cool, too. I wrote the lead dev explaining that I really wanted the game, but I was angry with Steam for their regional price difference shenanigans, so how would he feel if I just pirated the game, then sent them some money via PayPal. He wrote back that they did their best to ensure equal pricing for their game, but Steam doesn't account for the changing values of currency, so there end up being discrepancies - but since he didn't want me to miss out on playing, and the game doesn't work properly without Steam due to licensing issues, he simply sent me a Steam key and said "don't worry about paying me back" because he's sure I've gotten screwed out of plenty of extra money by virtue of living in Europe.
I was so impressed that I bought the game anyway and put the free key he sent me into the "make the world a better place giveaway" thread, which I told him about and he approved. (So if anyone wants a copy of the game, do something nice for people and you can have that one!)
I've also gotten a lot of fun and interesting screen shots in this game. They're in
my Steam profile.
