Iji: fantastic freeware game

[JadeAuto]

I've been listening to the soundtrack so much, and the unofficial remix of tor and a few other pieces of the music the last few days.

This game is so great on so many levels, I'm playing through it again. I want to make an Iji character skin for Minecraft. Yeah.... nerdy.

It's got just so much good going for it. Definitely on my top 10 games in the last 10 years... but that's another story.

haha. most def. A friend told me about this, sometime ago. Played it two or three times through. Very good game.

... that's it?

I'd just like to say that I finished the hell out of everything in this game except ultimortal with max charge tor, did pick up the new version though, mine was 1.3 it's now 1.6.

It'd be nice to see this as Wiiware or something.

That'd be great.

i went downtown this morning, had a beer and a smoke at my favorite place at the riverside, then plugged in my mp3 player....the first thing i listened to was...."3 cans later" from IJI OST!

that's a cool little synchronicity, the fact you just bumped this 10 year old thread!

(also, i am now at beer can no.3! technically, the first one was a bottle. but whO Cares :D)

No joke, I downloaded it again a few weeks ago and played through it again. It's seriously one of the best free games on the internet, easily up there with the likes of Cave Story and Deltarune (Ch. 1 & 2).

Don't care that it's a necro, just putting it out there that this game is still great.

i remember the storytelling and the emotional quality of it being great. not in a grandiose AAA way, of course, but for what it is, IJI was kinda genius on all fronts.

you can play iji (the protagonist) empathetically, or as an alien killer. it results in different sound bits iirc, like Iji screaming "DIE!!" after a kill... or saying "sorry."

Oh man I was trying to remember the name of this game because I had been thinking about it lately. Thanks for the reminder!
