While this game is short, I made a stronger connection to the squares in this than I have with any other games NPCs. The naration is just spot on and I really with that Mike Bithell brings it to GOG at some point. There is already a DRM free release but I need it here on GOG as well.
Many years ago I saw this little game on the PS3 store and thought to myself "Surely a platformer about squares and rectangles is nothing special." and dismissed it entirely for a couple of years. But then one day I watched a video by the late TotalBiscuit (rest in peace) where he gushed about how he fell in love with this game for a couple of minutes before moving onto the next subject, which in turn did make me a bit more open to trying it. Not long after that, I found the game was free for Playstation Plus, being a subscriber back then I decided to try it and kept an open mind, and wow I was blown away by how much I loved it.
A truly wonderful and emotional journey about squares and rectangles meeting up together, making friends and forming alliances, working together to overcome not only their obstacles but also their fears, self doubts and loneliness. The gameplay was simple but really enjoyable puzzle platforming goodness, and the story was absolutely wonderful. I would happily pick this up in a heartbeat the moment it would arrive on GOG.
It's an artsy platformer game without being so up itself that it sees what it had for breakfast. You get time to breathe, time to think, and more importantly the narration isn't constantly banging on about the atom bomb or whatever Braid was about. It's a game ultimately about teamwork, as in the style of the Lost Vikings, but with a bit more than "Stab, shield and run".

Silent Hill: OriginsSilent Hill: Origins is the fifth installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series, and a prequel to the original game. As in the previous entries, the player move back and forth between nightmare and real versions of the town, gathering items used to solve puzzles and open up new areas. Monsters of various types provide obstacles and, in series tradition, are mostly disturbingly twisted versions of humanity. The main character can fight with his bare fists or use melee weapons. Unlike previous games in the series, melee weapons break after a time. There are also one-shot items that can be thrown and several guns. There is no HUD, but the edge of the screen turns red when the protagonist is near death.Horror Survival
Silent Hill: Shattered MemoriesSilent Hill: Shattered Memories is the seventh installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series, and a stand-alone reimagining of the original Silent Hill video game. Once again, you will cast Harry Mason searching across the haunted town for his missing daughter Cheryl. Through his exploration, Harry will come across objects and recordings that tell some of the history of Silent Hill. New to the series are a depiction of Silent Hill's demonic alter-dimension as a world of ice, and the removal of weapons from the game: when the monsters come out, Harry must literally run for his life. Between scenes, the game will cut to a psychiatrist's office, who asks personal questions about Harry and his past experiences. The game will then alter itself based on the player's responses, changing characters and lines of dialog to something intended to be more personally uncomfortable.Horror Survival
