IN my words what is this strange game on the PS2 :
Your a kid that plays a flute in some urban kids playground... and you get bored from it, so you go on a swing ... and swing ...
and swing ... and suddenly your transported to the land of Gods ... where gods test what is to be human with simple tests ... but first you have to lose yourself ... and then you lose your cloths ... then you feel hungry ... Suddenly GOD tells you those feelings you have now can be projected to other living things ... so you project this HUNGER felling to a dog ... that eats some roots and clears your way to your first test ... The Written Language - what is your name ... by completing it you clear the way ... to test number 2 of many ... you see 2 things a Fish and a bird that wants to eat it ... and a balloon that you can inflate ... by inflating it you get the feeling of JOY and you jump ... this feeling you project to the fish ... that jumps, is eaten by a bird and then ...bird gets eaten by a crocodile ... test number 2 complete ... the CYCLE OF LIFE ... then comes another one, you get a oven and a root ... bake it for 60 sec then eat it ... TEST OF TIME COMPLETED ... and then you find a door , near it a stone with a picture of a clock handles ... so wait till that time or ... find your blanket and go to sleep in your bed ... test of WAIT completed ...

Each of those gives you a new gui thing and a new game mechanic... from a mini map , to time , to day and night cycle... to a health bar ... etc...

The game logic is simple :
collect food to eat - green bar ...
do things to get feelings
project those to others
sleep to fill your health bar - red bar
complete test to get the fuck out

So now the question is : Why did you stooped playing it ? ...

Well, as cute as it looks , this game has is faults... the main one is the missing map ... well not missing but you have to do a stupid test to have it ... and projected feelings cannot be stored ... you have to get them again ... so you have to get hungry to project hunger ... find something that makes you happy ... to project happiness ... let me explain what irk me the most : you find yet the same dog and some roots ... but you have to have hunger, to be able to project this feeling, to this creature ... the thing is my FOOD BAR IS NEARLY FULL ... :/ yeah ... well you can go to sleep and get this feeling back... or go on a hunger strike ... till you get this feeling back and lose the energy ...

Nice concept but awfully executed ... and later on those test are too cryptic ... its one of those games that was designed to be played for moths to complete ... then +20h
