As I continued to play this game I found my self in a hell like place were all the enemies were demons and not school children. Being demons they were very powerful, and i struggled to fight just one of the them. I soon found my self in a tight spot were i had used all of my items and was still low on health. I saw that i would not be able to progress any further in the game because i did not kill any of the people in the school in the start of the game.
I found this to be very interesting and game to me became more apparent and less of a re-enactment of this horrible event. I thought about this much as I started over the simple game. This forced me to kill all of the kids in the school just to beat the game this does reflect the makers intension in showing that kill is the only way this game is to be play and there is no other alternative. I found this to be rather ill minded and furthered my disguest of this game, and the creators attempts of show these peoples perspective. nevertheless i made a mission to grind thought and "kill any thing that moves" in the school.
This was a terribly long process and i did not far into the game with the several class rooms and the many foes who are in them. however i to notice to the names of the foes and found it interesting how the creator choice to name them. with names such as openly gay kid and jock, it goes to show how these stereotypes are always being perpetrated and made me think about how i think of others in this sense. seeing a suit and thinking and havening instant assumptions, that thought is something positive i can take away from this other wise bad game.

The game starting out is very slow and does it's best to drive a story. I found this to be rather un Appling and ineffective as I had preconceived notions of the game, and what the story was about. I imaged that it would focus on the tow that killed many other kids in that school, and about there perspective. Perhaps because of this i did not care much for the story, as it tried to humanize these two; but does not change much of what i thought about them.
With this game being made in with the "RPG Maker" i accepted the opaque graphics and tried to have as much fun with the game as possible, to look at this game as a game and not as a re-actment of the real life event. however, i found it very difficult to go along and play the game comfortably. after figuring out that the grey sprits on the walls were cameras and you were to walk side by side to the wall, and planted the bombs the game still goes on to some flash backs. I found this to be very annoying as it did not add much depth to the character in my opinion. With the begin being frustrating you then are allow to go on a rampage and kill the people in the parking lot.
Once i fought with one person and saw them dead on the floor, i was just disgusted, and really did not want to play the game any more. the action did nothing for me it was not "fun" to play like that. having the weak enemies, and very little exp coming from them plus the dead body laying there did not sit well with me. Something about this whole situation was not right i felt bad and just wanted to skip the rest of the game after that first fight. This was different from other games that i have play where you do kill innocent people, who don't even have a fight chance like in grand theft auto, or in the no Russian mission in modern warfare 2. I in fact enjoyed killing those people and saw those features as interesting however in this case it is just wrong. Perhaps its because it is dealing with children or because it was base off a true event, i will not know for sure but i do know that this game hit me in the worng spot.
I walked thought the game and did not fight anyone else, and was careful to avoid them until i had to fight the group of teachers in the library. After that horrible encounter the two characters kill themselves and go to what looks like hell. As it looks like this game is becoming more game like perhaps i'll enjoy playing it, nonetheless the begin is the most disturbing thing i have ever witnessed.
