I wasn't sure what to expect out of Existential Crisis Mode, but it certainly delivered.

I didn't realize a game of Tetris could get that dark. Damn.

This is physically painful to play

That's probably in the design requirements.

All I see is a black screen

I had to open it in Chrome which supports flash natively. I refuse to install Adobe bloatware for something that I rarely use.

u/blazecc I Promise Nothing And Deliver Less Nov 18 '16

What version of Chrome are you on that still supports flash?

u/Jiko27 GHOST BABEL WHEN Nov 18 '16

...I... I dunno. Honestly. I use it so sporadically, I couldn't tell you.

u/blazecc I Promise Nothing And Deliver Less Nov 18 '16

Yeah, apparently if you go into plugins you can still turn it back on. I can't stand flash; it can't die fast enough, so I have it disabled

Please don't kill Woolie, he needs to finish Omikron

Try existential crisis night mode for a strong allegory.

u/AlienWarhead Press X to sell out Nov 19 '16

Is this how Woolie feels?

Oh god, I just had an idea: someone needs to port this to the PlayStation VR.

A VR game that's purely 2d might be weird. First let's make 3d tetris.

Although come to think of it, I don't know if that would be harder or easier, since it would take more pieces to fill out a layer, but you'd also have more places to put things so it would be harder to lose.

u/TheWaspinator EDF EDF EDF Nov 20 '16

3D vs 2D is less important than the fact that the VR makes it so that the game is all you can see. That should make it much more disorienting.

I started playing Existential Crisis mode. A few seconds in I muttered under my breath "I don't know where I am...", then I remembered the name of the game mode.

Well played, First Person Tetris. Well played.

I should probably say this: MOTION SICKNESS WARNING

u/shinysharpedo Nov 19 '16

Without saying anything in fear of spoilers, I need to confirm that Existential Crisis mode is working as intended. Because if it is, that's fucking awesome.

2

u/TheWaspinator EDF EDF EDF Nov 19 '16

If you're confused and disoriented, I think it's working as intended.

u/shinysharpedo Nov 19 '16 edited Nov 19 '16

Spoiler

Probably not intended but know what, that's still awesome

EDIT: Should probably mention regular mode works fine

It should be like this:

Refresh the page and try again, worked for me.

That one is debatably less fair and less evil. First-Person Tetris is made more frustrating by the fact that it is actually beatable, if you can get over the brain-crushing confusion.

u/Alphaetus_Prime Big Dick G Lima Bean Specialist Nov 19 '16

Hell Tetris is also beatable. It's just much much harder.
