This was kind of neat, albeit very bleak.

Certainly a “game” to make you feel something bizarre and not really entertain you. You are given a Game Boy to play and you'll read frequent letters sent to your cell and that's sort of it. Most of this game is just learning the world outside of your cell is apparently dying to some horrid virus, though you'll never catch a glimpse of it, your window is too high up to see out of.
I thought it was interesting how I hit a certain point where I was just apathetic about the outside world. Good or bad, it doesn't matter much to my prisoner, who at this point only really lives to hopefully escape (unlikely) or beat the absurdly difficult games on his Game Boy. I found Charlotte, a woman confessing her affection towards me through writings, to be quite sad as I thought that poor woman doesn't even know a single thing about me, including whether or not I'm even alive. Part of me liked getting her kind letters and another part of me was pissed when they'd slide under my door because now I gotta go read something instead of beating this Snake level. Ugh, Charlotte, how inconsiderate.

It's a sad project as its creator took his own life at a young age. Robert Brock makes you feel a lot with very little in Presentable Liberty and he clearly had visions he wanted to display. I wish things had been better for him.

I think Presentable Liberty is worth checking out. It's free and will only take about an hour of your time.

eu vejo esse jogo de uma forma mais otimista do que a maioria das reviews que eu vi aqui

é claro, é muito triste oque tenha acontecido com o criador dele, que descanse em paz, mas eu gosto como no final do jogo uma pequena esperança é deixada, até pra um jogo que só tem desgraça, fala mt pra mim sobre esperança

Presentable Liberty me rompio

La verdad es que para muchos esta calificacion es super exagerada pero esto me hizo llorar, me senti identificada, me senti completamente una prisionera de una celda que nunca fue una

una alegoria a la depresion que como alguien que lo experimento de primera mano es... simplemente desgarrador

Es una pena que a pesar de lo bien que logra representar la depresion no lograron salvar a su creador a tiempo... R.I.P Wertpol

Who is delivering these letters? How are you still getting letters when everyone is dead? Where do you go to the bathroom? Other than nitpicks like this the game was definitely an experience and a vibe. Being cooped up in a prison with nothing to do but play unfair gameboy games really made time feel longer than it actually was and the twist was kind of interesting if not a bit forced. RIP Mr. Smiley. Also RIP to the Dev. This really shows how much potential they (and by extension all of us) have.
