  • Pyjama Sam three is one of the games I most remember as a child, despite only ever having had the demo disc (along with Demos for Putput through time and one of the Freddi Fish games). For some reason the way the Demo just ended along with the title (which I interpreted as a threat) rendered it the scariest thing kid me had ever played. I remember spending large amounts of time trying to find some way to work my way around which could avoid the determinism of the end of the demo. Kid me did not understand the concept of an incomplete game and I think that makes 'You are what you eat from your head to your feet' one of the most interesting games I ever played, purely accidentally, becoming this weird surreal horror purely because it didn't have an ending and there was no way to avoid that fact.

  • There is something beautifully human and honest and hilarious, in hearing a narrator with that trademark soft spoken PBS/community radio/nature documentary sophistication, not just discussing a kid's game, but also stumbling over his words out of nowhere when he says "remember the carrot he'll be important later" 😂. It is like hearing Werner Herzog during his cartoon cameos or when he says in heavy interviews about his art things casually like "it's okay it is only an insignificant type of bullet" after being randomly shot by a maniac.

  • I can't help but to think that the dissatisfaction felt at the end of all these was intentional. It shows the issues present so clearly and concisely, but then show what a normal, liberal or centrist response to these issues would be. I think if I were playing this as a child, I would be left feeling exactly what I'm feeling now, that there would be more to be done to actually fix the issues at hand.

  • Never heard of these games but then I wasn't young back in the 90's, so not looking at these type of games. I found the analysis interesting & the comments enlightening. There was a remark in the game about the food pyramid: this concept has come in for some recent criticism as the division of the various food group is not as healthy as previously thought.

    • Notice how the video was made on the storytelling of the game (this could have been a movie and the analysis wouldn’t be very different). None of my comments are on the illustration, animation or any things of that nature. What made me engage with this work of art is its storytelling, its engagement with the real world through concepts it explores. People like you make me wonder why I even bother making videos.
