Description	In our constant quest to find meaning in our lives, we may ask ourselves "What happens when we die?". Well now you can examine this scenario repeatedly, and more importantly in a virtual environment. Of course you need not take the philosophical approach when playing this game. You could instead simply propell the red-headed protagonist in a kind of panicking motion, admiring the two frame animation as he runs hastily back and forth across the screen. The choice is yours.
Comments	A game that gets straight to the point. Nothing is wasted, well apart from 90% of the screen area. But I do like the minimalist approach taken by the author. Dark humour is always bound to score quite well and the game is "open ended" with no predetermined end to the "fun". The "death sequence" whilst a potential stress buster could have really benefited from just a little variety, perhaps extending the longevity of the title. I somehow feel that the potential of this game idea was never fully realised. Clearly the game takes place in a rural setting with a green field and a wheat field providing a serene backdrop to the deathly antics of the suicidal maniac. Will there ever be a city version made?
