I Made This You Play This We are Enemies (2009)

The game feels like a bad nightmare! It’s almost like my computer has been possessed and in order to exorcise it, I must beat it! Level 3: Whenever I restart, the computer says “you purchased a farm.” I’d be lying if I said that this didn’t make me chuckle a bit. I do find the phrase “bought the farm” rather odd when referring to death. Level 5: I was literally attacked by 101 Dalmatians. I didn’t know Disney could be so scary! The soundtrack sounds like a virus within the CPU is chanting for help. I dare not answer! Digital monsters must remain in captivity. Is this what Walt Disney intended all along? Intermission: Finally! A chance to relax. There has been one instance in which a video game gave me the option rest during intermission. The other time was in a Mario game, which I found strangely odd. Level 5: The first level to pose a real challenge. Avoiding the electrical bars too longer than I expected. The controls are tight so it wasn’t too difficult. I constantly look to the background to see what hidden messages I can decipher. Now I feel like I’m trying to escape from a computer before I get infected. Ending: None of the rewards promised, I received! Final thoughts: Interesting game.
