A beautiful game that artfully captures the feelings of arranged marriage.
The readme for this game asks a question: "Who do you want to marry?". An important question in anypony's life. The person you marry is the person you spend the rest of your life with, it's only natural that one would put a lot of thought into this choice. But alas, for some people there is no choice. The Kid in this game is one such person. He is doomed to walk down the twisted wedding hall path towards the ominous warp in the middle of a half-diamond, unaware of who awaits his hand in marriage. When he finally gets through, he is greeted with a wife whom he has never met before. At this point there is no way to continue the game past this screen and your only options besides exiting the game are walking around the room or jumping into the text and dying. A fitting metaphor for how those in unwanted marriages feel trapped in their situations, unable to break free. I applaud this maker for making a short fangame about such a taboo topic with so much nuance.
