I like the sensation of having a row of coins in front of you, but not being able to rush through them or else you'll miss the writing. It makes them feel less like collectibles, and forces you to to play slowly and carefully, which I thought worked well with the story. I also felt the stream of consciousness style effective, and think about some of those topics often (well, not so much the coin fucking). Anyway, this was cool. Good luck with haxeflixel!
I definitely identify with a lot of the things you're talking about in this game. I feel that, for many people, everything that they do is to avoid thinking about uncomfortable things. Whether it's pleasure or religion, or getting money or accolades, it's a way to try to dump things into the void at the center of human existence to try to plug it or cover it up, but that's impossible. Everything valuable is eventually made worthless, especially in the face of death and change. It seems like every time I try to search deeply for meaning, or a purpose for anything, I just find that same void staring me in the face. There's nothing there. I don't know but lately I've been trying to find the beauty in that meaninglessness, and purposelessness. Trying to find a reason to do things despite knowing the futility of it all. I've been trying to clean all the shit out of my head to see if there's anything in there underneath it all... Maybe if I accept that everything is meaningless, I'll be able to find meaning everywhere. Honestly though, if anything I've been feeling more distraught recently. but maybe that comes with the territory. Anyway, that's my shitty nugget of philosophy for the day. Thanks for the game, and for keeping it honest.
