Passage through life...with 8-Bit music!

Passage is a unique game to say the least. When you first begin playing a few things might be going through your mind like, "what is this game?" and "oh cool music!". This is a very simple game that is actually very deep. You have the choice to start off by yourself or you can continue onward and meet your partner. Then you set off on your journey, you can walk in a straight line or you can move around , but no matter what you eventually run into some obstacles. As you continue on the path your character ages and if you are with your partner she eventually dies leaving you to wonder on your own. As sad as that sounds I believe that is where the theme of the game really hits most people. Life is not just a straight path you can move around and change your experience and what you go through, however in the end the result is still the same. The game itself is short, I myself went back and played it about three times more after the first time.
