Hey I can type here!

Yep, I was in the reverse prison.

this doesn't make sense, the second door won't open!

And of course, it's the machine.

A key in one game unlocks a door in a completely separate game.

More. More more more. More love, more praise, more people telling me that I'm good, always more more more... It's like a disease. Solution, solution, solution.

Don't worry about me, a place this nice I'll be glad to stay here all night.

Just tell me how you feel…It will make sense.

That's where I am right now! Oh I'm so glad to know that I get out eventually! What's it like to escape?

Being alone must be awful.

You run a shop inside your body, selling your organs strategically to make the most money before you die.

I'M KING OF THE WORLD!!

The problem is that you don't actually know who you are right now.

If I could have reached him during this time then maybe I could have asked him, but I couldn't, I still don't understand why this is here. I'll put the code on the ground here for you so that we can move on.

... Anyway. Housekeeping. Let's keep doing this. Books. Would you please clean up the books. Thanks.

So now the work is becoming self-destructive. And I'll tell you, at the time I first played this game, shortly after he made it, here's what I'm thinking to myself:

About halfway through the game, the perspective shifts... And you play as the teacher. And suddenly you discover that your teacher is just as bigotted and afraid as you are. Oh and also you can move around the classroom now.

What if I'm not a good teacher...

The beam causes you to start floating. And this is an important moment for him. Because yes, this is a glitch, but Coda identifies something human about it, like how small it makes you feel in the face of this larger chaotic system, or this floating could be the afterlife.

Shit. How do you solve it.

I guess If someone had told me ahead of time that he just really enjoyed making prison games, maybe I wouldn't have thought he was so desperate? I wouldn't have told so many people that he was depressed. Maybe he just likes making prisons.

Look around here, you can step back out the door you came in through.

Read an enemy's emails to learn how to beat them

WE WOLL ALL DIE SOME DAY

The fact that you think I am frustrated or broken says more about you than about me.

there must be a reason for it, though

OPEN SESAME

A game of only motivational quotes, played one after the other while the player cannot move.

Okay...I feel afraid that nothing will ever change… Go on.

No solution

I have seen every thing. I have traveled the world. I have never told anyone

Just something to think about while you smooth out the rug in the bedroom.

DOWNWARD. KEEP DIGGING.

Take my hand, let's jump together

That's where I am right now! Oh I'm so glad to know that I get out eventually! What's it like to escape?

You must adress and rally a group of eager press reporters.

I guess If someone had told me ahead of time that he just really enjoyed making prison games, maybe I wouldn't have thought he was so desperate? I wouldn't have told so many people that he was depressed. Maybe he just likes making prisons.

STOP. TURN BACK. PROCEEDING FURTHER WILL ONLY RESULT IN MISERY.

You must think harder, please! Try hard to remember! It is so important that we get out of here, we must escape this prison! Can you think harder? There must be something more. Please, tell us how to reach the end.

This is not a branching point unfortunately, the only option is to step into the beam.

Years?? I haven't been here for years, I don't think...

I know it's tempting but there's actually nothing over here. Sorry!

Hm... I want to try something. Try stepping back from the stage. Okay, yes! Now this is working! This is what it was like! That's perfect, wonderful, this is really wonderful. You're doing great.

The only way to past this challenge is to randomly guess the 6-digit code. Like the invisible maze, it's frustrating because it's the opposite of everything else that Coda has made, it doesn't encourage thought or engagement, it doesn't ask anything of me but a lot of my time.

This game is called Escape from Whisper, and it's one of the more generic games you'll see from Coda.

Well, I'm here now

You are a gate.

Do you feel like a hero yet?
