It's a short little thought, it says what it wants to say, and then it ends. Didn't need anything more than that! Which to me is why it works, because it gets out quick. Okay, next one!

True, maybe I only like things once I don't have them any more.

Welcome: CONGRATULATIONS. I don't really know where to go with this.

Well, I'm here now

I had been trying to, that was the thing. For years I was trying to know him, to understand who he actually was and what he stood for. I asked him so many times to please just tell what his games mean to him.

I'M KING OF THE WORLD!!

Does this puzzle have a solution??

This line of work, you let go of those judgments pretty fast. May not be your apartment, but something in your life needs straightening up.

So it's a short and relatively minimalist experiment combining motion and narrative. It's less advanced than the previous game, but it actually seems to be more focused, more complete. Coda's trying to give it a unique voice rather than simply basing it on a pre-existing trope.

Makes game. Includes door. Cannot open door. Thanks.

Nothing. No one.

Dear Davey, thank you for your interest in my games. I need to ask you not to speak to me anymore.

I get it, that's a weird thing to say to someone you just met.

Everyone run! RUN!!!

I refuse to believe

And I don't know why, but he decides he needs to revisit this prison, he's going to start over, use the same assets, turn it into something else. Okay, cool, here's version 2.

But what I like is that even though he starts from the simple aesthetic of a desert town, he then scatters these colorful abstract blobs and impossible floating crates around the level, and of course it destroys the illusion that this actually IS a desert town.

Read an enemy's emails to learn how to beat them

I'm not safe

Anything can seem infinite when you're drenched in it.

Well my goodness! I'm glad as all heck that you showed up! Thought I might be having to clean this entire house all by myself. And right miserable that would have been. Everyone knows lonesome hands make lousy homes!

Is that good though? It's comfortable, but it's inhuman. I couldn't live this way...

uhhhh, no answer I think?

Stand on an X staring at a bear for 3 hours.

who ARE all of you?

Woah, holy shit

Maybe i'll feel real some day

A key in one game unlocks a door in a completely separate game.

You'll notice the quality is up from previous games, including this new chat system which he started using. From here on out he begins putting much more effort into the visual polish of his work, and this particular game took 2 months to create as a result.
