I personally interpreted it as the player being something like chemo (likely destroying a lot of stuff that doesn't need to be destroyed, but ultimately killing the infection), and the things we were destroying are cancer (looks like a natural part of the scene except for being in the wrong spot). That's not to discount your interpretation however, and either way I get the sense there's more to it than just the cancer metaphor.
I was able to play the game for a short while, I had smashed 3 bad guys, but the game suddenly crashed with a "fatal error" message. I tried rebooting the game, but the walls and floors didn't load in and after a few seconds a man resembling a news reporter told me to head back to the elevator to try again. Waiting in the elevator worked, but did not give me the hammer afterwards. I tried redownloading the game, but the walls and floor still didn't load in properly. If I walked out of the elevator, I would fall through the floor and the music would cut out.
Another creepy yet very enjoyable game from the creators of Swallow the Sea. It's kinda like playing a very satisfying hide & seek gone horribly wrong. Neat.
So much to love here. The gameplay is satisfying, with a good hard "thunk" to the hammer and great crumbling effect to the objects. The music is excellent - creepy and totally fits the very unusual theme and setting (Nice work, Mr. Shypilov). The final reveal is absolutely chilling. Brilliantly done, gentlemen.
An excellent experience. The amount of variation you guys were able to put into this simple gameplay loop is astounding. The story also felt very personal. As the game started it had this hotline-miaimish kinda careless violence vibe, but the end had a pleasant twist, giving much more depth and emotion to the whole experience. Thank you so much for making this.
I try to launch this game and everytime it gets past the startup credits it just stops responding. Does anyone else get this bug? I have a Radeon VII and AMD drivers
I thought the objective of the game was to kill all the furnitures and then... the news guy appeared and he seems to be dying everytime I complete and objective. At the end I think the game was trying to convey don't smoke lol. But still, nice game!
Awesome game man, you keep the standart high! The game was so freaky, had that "wtf" feeling when the first chair exploded into flesh and blood. The story is sad and disturbing. I wonder, can you save him if you get all 20 at the end? I find it close to impossible to accomplish this, but who knows. Feel like giving any answers, or should we persue this on our own? ;)

Wow! A real delight to play with perfect pacing. Tons of neat little touches in the objects and visuals really take it to the next level.
(also it's always nice to see tips of the hat to mondo medicals)

Funciona em Windows 7 de 32bits?
Yes, it should work with Windows 7 32 bit, if it does not then try installing Windows SDK8.1
What happens if you get all 20 at the end?
You get a beach towel with Maceo's face on it
On it!
Damn, there is no way to get all 20, some are out of reach and there is no way to get to them.
You have to cheat to get to them.
I am so hyped omg this game is well worth the wait
I love this game! It hits so hard, literally and emotionally!
I like breaking furniture. But I don't like when furniture screams at me.
Great game!
Nice game!
