I recently came across a couple of Flash games that are very thought provoking. If anyone is interested, these two games are definitely worth looking at.
SPENT - This game is all about choices. As the intro tells you, over 14 million Americans are unemployed. Now, you may be one of them, or you may not. If you are unemployed, then you'll understand the game very, very well.
You've got to try to make it through 30 days of choices with as much money as you possibly can manage. I'm sure you'll discover how good...or how bad you are with money as you play through it. Personally, I am not doing too well with money in the game (or in real life for that matter).
How well will you do? If you play, please leave a comment and let me know how much money you have left at the end of the month.
The second Flash game I have for you guys is One Chance. Now, this truly is an extremely sad and thought provoking game. In it, you play a scientist who has come up with a cure for cancers. Only you find out that it doesn't just kill cancers, it kills everything. With six days before the world ends, how will you spend your time?
I've played through One Chance a few times (you'll need to clear your browser cookies and all if you want to play through the game more than once) and discovered that there is only really one "good ending". However, if you see that ending, it's not all that good. I won't spoil any of the endings, but damn...I think the "good ending" is actually worse than all of the bad endings to the game.
Definitely check these two games out, and let me know how you get on with them. :)
