Take the color palette of The End of Evangelion mixed with the stench of industrial rock and foribly graft it onto the flesh of run-and-gun platformers replete with the WASD/mouse combo. Spice it with the end of the world, perhaps a few scenes from The Invisibles and a first person plural writing penchant adapted from System Shock 2. The result is All Of Our Friends Are Dead, a hell of a good way to spend an hour and a must add to any tripper´s playlist.

Typically I have more to say, but I guess if you enjoy spectres of hell on earth coupled with a highly agile MewTwo-like avatar, rains of blood, churning screaming necks that act like a satanic correlate to Mario´s green pipes, and last but not least mutilated naked white chicks that look like Lillith, then play.

Great Stuff

Incongruent level design, disquieting atmostphere, and minimalistic music strongly reminiscent of the crunchy parts of Iggy Pop's "The Idiot"? I'm sold.

ending poem?

Submitted by tunnelingcat on Fri, 03/05/2010 - 00:05.

WHOA i have a strange idea..... that may lead to something interesting although im not sure. i HAVE NOT tested this....
SPOILER ALERT and WOT ALERT
en ruin
twist and tumble
forgot the smell of home
no soil beneath our footsteps
no marrow in the bones
listen at us will you?
share with us your head
do hide behind the iris
as all of our friends are dead

if you read it as many times as i have you tend to have strange dreams.... and those dream may lead to realizations
it seems that "en ruin" and "twist and tumble" reference the ruins of the last stage and the squares that swirl around to guard that necklace thingy or whatever it is
"forgot the smell of home" may be another reference to the last level as you are far away from home. or the place you started.
"no soil beneath our footsteps" and maybe "share with us your head" may mean that you need to jump. "listen at us will you" may just mean to do what this passage is describing. "do hide behind the iris" the iris, part of the eye, like that big creepy one nearby? and "no marrow in the bones" may mean the boss must already be dead. so im reading into this and getting that maybe if you kill the boss and jump up to hit the rotating blocks with only your characters head then run over to the eyeball to the right that maybe something will happen? maybe i just shouldn't have played this game 12 times and painted the poem on my wall..... maybe i shouldnt eat an entire cold pizza before bed.... but maybe JUST maybe this would be neat! im going to try it soon but if someone else does first please let me know!!!!
