a game about 2 man, who get killed for being gay. i think i read a similar story on the news about something that happened in chile some years ago.
i can't say much about this but only one thing, that wind that was slowing me totally got me. i thought it was some kind of a bug lol
nice game.
Reviews for "Pain That Binds Us"
Amazing game. Great visuals and story.
Don't understand why this was placed on monthly best voting, but also, I don't understand all the hate on the review section.
This game was made in 72 hours, people. Don't expect an open world RPG with multiple endings.
As for the story itself: I'm not a big fan of this "hate haters" message. Gay people never fared so well in all of human history. They have virtually every right heteros have, and also, a few privileges - For example, in Brazil and many other countries, they have specific laws to protect them, and people who commit crimes against a homossexual - even if not linked to his sexuality, e.g. a simple burglary - face heavier charges and penalties.
If anyone asks me, being POOR is the thing to worry about. If you're rich, you can pretty much be anything - That's society in a nutshell.
For a 72h jam game, it's decent, a bit on the good side of it. I know it's short, but pixelated art is good as is music. Timed actions gave something to aim for.
Ending was rather climatic, and I see people can relate to this since many of them suffered at least some bullying for their choices or behaviors.
This is the stupidest "game" I've ever played. It's a story about being gay. None of that stuff happens now a days. Such BS that it is ridiculous. No star, not worth it. BS.
I had to watch the walkthrough to see what this game was about thanks to all the bad guys swarming me like locusts and keeping me from walking.
