Passage: a Gamma256 video game by Jason Rohrer

“Passage is meant to be a memento mori game. It presents an entire life, from young adulthood through old age and death, in the span of five minutes. Of course, it’s a game, not a painting or a film, so the choices that you make as the player are crucial. There’s no “right” way to play Passage, just as there’s no right way to interpret it. However, I had specific intentions for the various mechanics and features that I included. You’ve probably figured most of these out already, but I wanted to put forth a few explanations for anyone who is interested.”

On first glance this might seem like an limited low-fi zelda-type game, but reading the description you realize what an incredible idea is being realized in Passage. Not to be missed.
