Though a game simply titled Coma likely doesn't sound like the most engaging ludological venture, you must take a few minutes to check out Thomas Brush's beautiful little browser-based platformer. It's short and sweet, featuring hand-drawn graphics, a lovely soundtrack and a plotline that's absolutely pregnant with artistic ambiguity.
Though that last sentence was also pregnant with pretentiousness, Coma is not. It's just a pretty, simple game, and it's free to play on Newgrounds right now. If you've got a half-hour to kill, we strongly advise you go check it out.

Played through it this morning, and absolutely loved it. Couldn't wait to see what came next. Pretty lil' thing.

Wow
So I just played through this little game
This simple game captures the atmosphere of the environments really well.
One of the few games that I've played where I got chills down the back of my neck from just the backgrounds and music. Haha

So, who's pregnant? The wife? Is there one of those? No? Husband? Wait, that's not even possible.

Had encountered it earlier this week. I fear that games like this concentrate on the artwork and trying to be a little deep, and forget the creativity of the levels. Really nice game and fun to play, but basic gaming. Hopefully there will be a sequel though as I'd like to play more.

It's pretty and the soundtrack is great, but there is little else to this. The gameplay is fun enough, the writing just isn't good and the premise is meh. On its own this is a fun little game that is well done, but having any sort of expectations about artistic endeavors towards it sort of ruins it. Perhaps this post was joking or perhaps the poster wouldn't know something that was actually pregnant with artistic ambiguity if it gave birth on him. Either way, it's worth playing but hardly meriting a conversation.
