Ever play Heart of Darkness? It's just as brutal, and somehow worse in that the main character is no older than twelve.
Every death in the game, for the curious. Yeah. No blood or gore, but it's still pretty cringe-worthy at times. Though incredibly well-animated.
Awesome game, by the way. Everything that's good about Another World, but with tighter controls, which makes it a little more fair. I just played through damn near the whole thing yesterday, and it's so short and fun I want to do it again.

Yeah, if you like Another World you should try to get your hands on HoD. I bought it used (off of Amazon) for the PS, but I'm aware there's a PC version as well.
I love "cinematic platformers." I was thinking of making a thread on them; they're kind of a dead genre but they did some interesting things.
