Leaving

Posted by Miss Cellania in Flash Games on August 14, 2009 at 11:29 am



Leaving is a video game based on a true story.

William David, a developer for Ubisoft, decided the best way for him to quit would be through the same medium, but in a rather different style. The combination of style, music and message make this an entertaining experience and by the time I had walked my way through it, I myself was willing William on to do great things. His plans are to continue work as an independent developer.

You don’t accrue points, you don’t compete against anyone, and there are no advancing levels, but the music is awesome. Use the arrow keys to advance and quit your job. Link to story. Link to game. -via reddit

    They Can't Take That Away From Me, written by George and Ira Gershwin, originally sung by Fred Astaire, covered by many, many other artists.

    Cool idea...I bet Ubisoft wishes they had kept him after looking at this.

    I agree with Ted. (also, I like 'They can't take that away from me'.)

    I'm thinking his ubisoft coworkers DID try to keep him.

    Anyhow, as someone who's been laid-off from his cubicle-job and misses it greatly, I have a hard time feeling much 'bravo' and such for someone flaunting their rejection of a good job.

    It takes all kinds, I guess.
