I really like this one. It all comes together, from the music to the kid's animations, from the atmosphere to the (sometimes multiply-soluble?) puzzles.

I didn't quite understand

the "It was you all along" part. Does she just mean the "please don't go" part was him? That didn't seem a huge revelation to me, especially since we didn't yet know the kid was mute.

Just finished, and I think it's really good. The art is lovely, the music is appropriate... just very well put together. Though I found it slightly disturbing as well, in that

it seemed like the girl was making her kid brother work through her teenage issues, particularly the level where it says 'I can date who I want, you're not my real dad'.

But that might just have been me. As for the thing mentioned before, about the

'It was you all along',

I felt like it was meant to indicate

that the brother was the one keeping her there with his issues, rather than her own baggage.

But again, that might just be me. Sorry for the long-winded opinions... Just a really good game that fired up my neurons in more ways than one, which is almost always a bonus for me.

Great game from animations to atmosphere. Wonderful dream-like quality. But, I must have taken a wrong turn in level 2-5 because I got stuck in a "room" with sides too high to jump and no other way out, so had to close the game out to start the level again. TG my game was saved!

This game reminds me of The Maxx, especially

the bunny thing...

really atmospheric and fun to play :)

A bit on the wall about this one. I dig the atmosphere and the story, but the sluggish gameplay and unresponsive controls make it really hard for me to actually enjoy the game.

I'm currently on 2-5 and I hope the game doesn't last too long. I want to see how it ends but I don't know if I have the patience to keep it up for too many more levels.

Reply

I finished all the levels and re read all the story line but I im still wondering about the game. was it because his sister never got to say goodbye in the end, or maybe the fact that she had so many things to talk about in her life and how messed up it was that just having someone to talk to let her leave that place. all in all its that mystery that keeps me wondering what kept her there in the first place that keeps bringing me back to this game.

Fantastic. Not only is the gameplay excellent (what an impressive concept and execution!), it speaks to the narrative. There are a lot of games that try too hard to be dark and evocative, and though it might be simplistic for some, the genuine intimacy of the story generates real chills. Reminiscent of Gateway, or Trapped � the subject matter is not quite as unnerving, the emphasis is definitely on the puzzle work.

I found the controls to be just right, and I'm on a slow computer, so you might want to restart a level in case there are errors. There is a tiny percentage of areas that are true dead ends, but the scant number of these speaks to how well-designed this game is. Play it! Skip a level if you're stuck, it's worth it.

There's a way to beat 5-1 without using the magenta lever. I accidentally did it, but can't figure out how I did.

This was really sad and I actually found myself tearing up near the end of it.
I'd like to know whether the dream(s) represented some form of closure for the boy, since he was smiling somewhat as he set her necklace on her gravestone. Does he now speak?

With a plot as clich�d as it is poorly handled, Sequester misses the mark with maniupulitive platitude that ultimately is inconsequential to the story as a whole.

Its experimental gameplay mechanic could have been its saving grace, but because of the opaque foreground obscuring key gameplay features, players are left disoriented and frusterated quickly.

Couple this with serious bugs and oversights, including open sides that should have been closed, buggy jumping and diagonal platforms that lack slope, Sequester offers no enjoyment on any level.

Faint praise can be given to the game's use of high-quality vectors and clear sound, as opposed to the easy method of making everything low-resolution and indistinct. Indeed, this was probably someone's labor of love, but who it was meant to appeal to is beyond me. Probably those new to experimental games.

Overall, 4/10 for good effort but atrocious execution.

Rather long game - since I've set my cookies to delete every time I close my browser, I decided to be determined to play it in one run. That said, it is not fair to judge this game on just world 1 alone - I'd say you'd have to be able to complete world 3 at least.

It does take a bit to get used to the cubic world - but once you do, it doesn't become too hard. I don't find it too repetitive, either - though that does require some patience.

Here's more fuel for the psychological soup:

I think that, yes, partially, the first 4 worlds is about the sister unloading her teenage emotional baggage [as well as providing the player with backstory], but it was also about the sister teaching her little brother about how she coped with death (and dead things). In a very weird sense, this allowed the brother to slowly accept her death as well.

For a mute boy, he can sure wake up with a noise. I'm not questioning his muteness - emotional baggage is a rather confusing thing - but I think he ought to be fine once his emotional knot is untied.

The sister makes note that she was jealous of the brother all along - most likely (though not written) due to the fact that her step-father never seems to let her do what she wants (aka date her boyfriend as well as any other 'normal' teenage thing) whereas the little brother gets all the love and affection. Yes, rather cliche for step-parents, but it fits the bill. The brother adores the sister, didn't even understand any of above, and started this entire thing because he couldn't accept her death.

In fact, I believe that is what this game represents - how the brother somehow mentally connects with his sister in the graveyard (in fact, you see this graveyard in the background ever since 1-3) and the sister thought she was the one that was trapped all along (she's dead, after all). I think that's why she went off with her memories - she thought that she might be able to go off to the afterlife once she resolved her problems ["It's not my memory - mine are all gone!" "Did I dump all my baggage?"] - obviously, this was the complete opposite! This also fits the epilogue levels - the brother realizes that it was all in his head, not the sister's, and that his sister didn't mean to be "mean" or anything to him, and these levels were to show how he realizes this and was coming to acceptance - going back to the graveyard 'mentally'

I really liked the cube navigation and thought it was handled really well. There's a bit of weird bugginess in 5-4 (I think that's the one - where two sides have O's and the other four sides are connected by one long hallway thing) where on one of the sides when the hallway is vertical, if you're in the upper right jumping up a slope and trying to jump up a side you actually jump up two sides. Didn't help or hinder playing any.

I'd have enjoyed more levels of more puzzle-type difficulty; 5-1 was probably the one I liked least because it's the one that felt most like I was wandering until I won, while 3-3 (I think? The one with the grid bounded by ladders) was the level I most enjoyed resolving. Those more interesting and complex without being totally wandery levels are not that common, unfortunately, but the story and the music help to carry those levels, along with the basic pleasure of rotating the gameworld.

Regarding the story itself - it's a good idea but needed work to really work. I don't really think that a game that can be played this quickly should have an ending cut scene - I'm not a big fan of cut scenes in general. If they'd simplified the ideas in that closing scene down and built it into the last couple levels that would have made it feel less like the story and game were vehicles of each other and more like they were a coherent unit. And

for the bunny to serve a purpose as worth having be its own prop in the game, shouldn't the prop itself become relevant again later on? It seemed like much of the story was just a bunch of loose threads thrown out there to see what stuck, which again is part of that lack of coherence.

Looking forward to more games from Lavelle!

Not a bad game. I can see where it would be fun. But the controls were kinda tricky for me. Knowing what to do was one thing. But making him do it was a different story. I never made it out of chapter one lol

I really liked the game, even though I'm bad at puzzle games so I had to use the walkthrough like an instruction manual :P. But as for the story...

I think the "it was you all along" was referring to the fact that the existence of the little boy was the reason for the girl's issues with her stepdad.

Also,

I didn't think the girl's views on death were healthy at all. How in the world was that supposed to help the brother? It was kind of creepy, in a way that made me keep playing in hopes it would resolve itself.

The ending

didn't satisfy me at all. I never figured out where the necklace originally came from, and I don't feel like anything got resolved. But for some reason, I absolutely loved this game and its unconventionality. 5/5.

I really enjoy playing this game. I would give 5/5. However I do notice some of you are confused about the plot... I have certain views about the plot, I hope they can help :)

The thing holding the sister and preventing her to forward into the light, I assume, is the brother himself. In the epilogue (or maybe chapter 5, I forgot) there was a memory "PLEASE DON'T GO" and the sister admitted that it was not her memory. It was the brother's. The brother was shocked at his sister's death and so he went mute since her death. I assume that maybe the brother used to go on night-time wanderings to his sister's grave.

As for the existence of the necklace, even I am confused. Maybe the brother had been holding the necklace since his sister's death, keeping it with him; and this abstractly meant preserving her sister's soul in this world... In the end of his dream, the brother left the necklace on the grave, and in that way his sister is set free.

as of 083112 this game has some weird interference w/ an advertising soundtrack that plays beneath its own soundtrack. for some reason there's a double stream or a double track or something. i've tried it a few times & it does it every time. no other game or website is giving me the same experience so i do believe theres something wrong here. dont know what, too overworked to figure it out but i think it's good to give you guys a headsup. hope it helps.

[Thanks for the note. Looking into this -Jay]

I found out that the game hosted on any site other than Armor Games was a hacked version that was originally uploaded without permission to Newgrounds and it propagated from there. A viral unlocked version has yet to be released.

Today we have received an authorized build of the game directly from Antony, the developer of the game, and have his permission to host it here.

@jay:

thank you. it is a really wonderful game, one of the best i've ever played. it's very rare for anything in any media to have so much soul these days. this one does. exceptional in that way. the game is very well done too.

Had a bit of spare time, so thought I'd write a transcript of the game - the white writing that appears in levels is in capitals, what the girl says is in normal text with speech marks.

Introduction

I-1 - "Little Brother?"
I-2 - "Little Brother? Are you really here?"
I-3 - "I'm trapped! I can't get out! Have you come to help me?"

Chapter One - Threshold

"It would be my birthday today... If I were still alive."

1-1 - "I died exactly one year ago. Mom and Dad had planned a surprise party for my 18th but... I never turned up. They always used to chew me out for being late for things. If kind of find it funny if I weren't dead."
1-2 - "My boyfriend was supposed to get me to the party, right? But we hit traffic. Literally. I died instantly... He cracked a rib. That was just like him, you know? So insensitive."
1-3 - "I kind of remember how my last gasp tasted. Like... Blood and breath mints. Then I was pulled out of my body, dizzily rising, whooshing up into the sky! I felt so free! Except, all of a sudden I stopped going up. I began to feel heavy, like I was more solid than the world. I was pulled back down, then through the ground, and since then, I've not been free at all."
1-4 - "I'd been here for a year since the accident. Are you dead too? I doubt it, you look as perky as ever. So what are you doing here? Are you visiting?"
1-5 - "Whatever, I am glad to see you. If you're visiting that means you'll be going back right? If you're going back, can I follow?"
1-6 - "It's cool that you're here, by the way. You got taller! Way to go!"

Chapter Two - Roots

"This place is seriously messed up."

2-1 - "Is it my birthday today? Is that why you're here? Has it been a year already? Time passes differently here. It's kind of... Gloopy."
2-2 - "These puzzles are way beyond me. You were always better at puzzles than me, right?"
2-3 - "See those creepy blobby things? I think those are souls and I think I'm one of them. What I need you to do is to find me."
"Uh-oh! See that? I don't know what those... Dead things are. But they hate... Well, I guess they hate everything. Like I did when I was 14. Try not to let it see you!"
2-4 - "Ok, little brother. We're looking for my Soul, right? Just keep going forward. I think I can feel you close by."
2-5 - "Shhh! There's another... Dead thing. I don't think they can hear me though. I might be in your head. Pro tip: don't touch the dead things."
2-6 - "We need to go downwards. Where it's dark and dim and where the monsters live. I bet you're just dying to find out what's down there, right? What can I say, I'm desperate! And it's not like we can go get some ice cream instead!"
PUT DOWN THE BUNNY, HONEY.

Chapter Three - Lacuna

"I couldn't figure this out. Maybe you can. You were always better at figuring things out, right?"

3-1 - "Hey! Check out the memory! Memories sometimes leak in this place. Gross! That one is totally messed up!"
WE DON'T TOUCH DEAD THINGS!
3-2 - "Hey little brother. Be really quiet here, ok? Until we know there's nothing... Hostile around."
I CAN DATE WHO I WANT.
3-3 - I don't know why I'm here but... I guess I was a bad person? Sorry that's really embarrassing, finding out your big sister was a bad person. If you can get out maybe I can follow and then I'll try harder ok? I promise."
KISS YOUR FATHER GOODBYE, HONEY.
3-4 - "I had a rabbit once. This is before you were born. I'd forgotten all about him. Oh God Mr. Apples. He really loved apples!"
PUT DOWN THE BUNNY, HONEY!
"I came home one day and Mr. Apples was dead. I held him and cried and cried. He was cold and stuff and his fur felt wrong..."
WE DON'T TOUCH DEAD THINGS!
3-5 - "You never had any pets did you? Fish don't count. You can't hug a fish. Maybe you didn't have pets because I freaked out so much over Mr. Apples. Man I really lost it when he died."
3-6 - "This must be me! Oh yes you feel very close now! Touch the necklace, little brother. I think it will bring you to me..."
HE GAVE ME SUCH A COOL NECKLACE.

Chapter Four - Odium

"I'm sorry. I... I can do this. Let's move on."

4-1 - " Anyway. We're on our way to a new place. A bad place. I can feel the hatred. The loathing. Like the smell of wet socks on a radiator. Rising up."
4-2 - "Mom told me I could forget about it if I put it in the ground. If I said goodbye first and then put it in the ground. So that's what I did. I forgot all about him."
PUT MR APPLES IN THE GROUND HONEY AND SAY GOODBYE.
4-3 - "Oh no. NO NO NO. I don't want to remember this. I buried this. I put it in the ground!"
KISS YOUR FATHER GOODBYE, HONEY.
"Oh, Daddy. Oh God I still miss you.... I'm dead and I still miss you. This is... I can't deal with this!"
BUT MOMMY WE DON'T TOUCH DEAD THINGS.
4-4 - "My dad died before your dad married my mom. I was only little. It wasn't fair."
4-5 - "I guess you always knew we had different dads. But with little kids it's hard to tell. But you probably didn't know how freaked out I'd been."
...SUCH A COOL NECKLACE.
4-6 - "If you get back, tell your dad I'm sorry, ok? It was... It all felt like I knew what I was doing back then. I guess I needed to feel in control."
I CAN DATE WHO I WANT.
YOU'RE NOT EVEN MY REAL DAD

Chapter Five - Knot

"The worst thing is, this is me. This is my hate."

5-1 - "It feels like there's noting left for me here."
WHERE ARE YOU?
5-2 - "There's nowhere else to go! Did I do it? Did I dump all my baggage?"
WHERE DID YOU GO?
5-3 - "What's this? It's not MY memory. Mine are all gone! Please? Please what?!"
PLEASE
5-4 - "I think this place is all tangled up! Like my life got all tangled up in something else..."
DON'T
5-5 - "Go!? I'd love to go! Believe me that's be just PEACHY'"
GO
5-6 - "Oh my God! It's you... Isn't it!?"
YOU'RE MY SISTER.

Epilogue - Gateway

"Please don't go, you're my sister."

E-1 - "Oh little brother has it been you all along?"
E-2 - "And I bet you never knew why I was so jealous of you. I wasn't very nice sometimes."
E-3 - "But, I guess that I'm you're sister. And you're my brother. And in the end that's all that matters."
"I guess I never got to say goodbye did I? I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to leave you, it was just an accident!"

Credits

"Did you wonder why he never spoke? Turned out he'd been mute since I died. Didn't say a word. Poor little kid."
"And he had nightmares. But my parents didn't know because he didn't make any noise! So he just sat there under his duvet and waited all night for morning to come."
"Goodbye!"
