I didn't care for the boss telling me I was late. Didn't go to the cubicle at first, just jumped off. Thought the hobo and cow were cool. But what do I know, I'm the kind of person who prefers the Super Mario Bros movie over Street Fighter movie.
i am with oldschool boy. i thought the game was dog shit. i don't understand it, i don't care to understand it. i jumped off the ledge the first day, saw i had to repeat the same day over again, and all interest was lost.
I didn't feel much impact. Possibly because my life doesn't resemble this sort of routine.
I think my "trajectory" was as follows (I don't remember if at certain steps the guy re-wakes up, e.g. after the leaf):
1st try: Turn off alarm and TV (it was bothering me) first day, then went to opposite of park (I don't drive to work), saw the homeless, turned back, went into the other side and suddenly I'm inside a car (huh). So I'm careful not to crash the car into another (only figured out later when I tried to do just that, that you can't). I noticed the leaf on the very first day, and when it flew I went after it and got the "cutscene". Boss says I'm late, go into cubicle to work.
2nd try: I already knew about the homeless so I go there and try him. Go into cemetery.
3rd try: I go into homeless, no longer there. Try to cross on the don't cross (can't). Go to Park. Stop car waiting for people to honk. Doesn't happen. Get outside car (huh, I can do that). Walk in one direction. See cow. Pet cow. Go back. Try other direction. Same thing. Go to work. Leaf no longer there. Continue past to the emergency exit. Top of building. I see where this is going. Jump (I thought the game would end here).
4th try. Humm, I must be missing something. Go without dressing (was the last thing I figured out, I'm a prude!). Get fired.
Then just boringly go through the barren landscape. I expected to need to jump again but instead get the ending.
