i finished this game thought it was a great game but it became even greater when i realized that its not just a game where you just throw shit in to a fire and watch it burn there is more to this game. the game is just a giant metaphor for video games the toys you throw into the fire is actually the hours we all throw into video games and we burn the hours doing this and what the game is over all trying to tell us is that we should be out in the world doing to to which i said FUCK YOU game i like video games so i will play them if i want to

that's, like, your interpretation man.

I thought it was more like a metaphor for growing up, but okay.

how old are you?

Surely it can't be that lazy.

For that too. The OP's interpretation is somewhat valid, since there are many subtle nudges that a lot of time passes throughout the game. There's a lot of neat stuff around it in general - the gameplay itself is a deconstruction of the "Zynga game" - FarmVille, etcetera - which consist mostly of clicking and waiting, so you can click again and unlock ways to click even more.

It's a really neat little project.

Yeah I agree with that interpretation. Also a metaphor for consumerism, buy buy buy and burn(because we might as well be burning our money). But yes, we should go outside more i think is the moral of the story. I'm wondering about the weather part. They say we used to be able to see the sun but now it snows forever(something like that). I think it started with all the smoke stacks. So, I'm guessing it's talking about industrialisation and consumerism has destroyed our environment. Buy buy buy which creates lots of polution because more and more things have to be made.

I thought it was more commentary on consumerism in general, and not necessarily pointing the gun at any specific medium. I got a "look past what you're being force fed and make decisions and determinations on your own" vibe and to strive to be more than content and do things that make you uncomfortable.

Haven't played it but read some places people were thinking DLC when it came to the 'meaning'.
