**Submachine Video Game Series**
my father used to keep me busy playing flash games when I was a little-little minuscule baby boy in short pants with a lollipop and this swivel kind of hat on my head. because I distracted him from doing his grown up routines you know... of course he decided it was a good idea to make me play different point and click quest games, that's how I learned to use computer mouse and became capable of choosing whatever game I wanted to play on the website.
one day i came across the submachine FLF game, as well as the other games by Mateusz Skutnik (for example the one where you must escape from a horse barn, if I remember correctly). in contrast with other submachine games, FLF was so easy that I was able to complete it all by myself, without asking help of my parents, so I kept going through the game every day several times, enjoying myself everytime, feeling so smart and stuff, until I got bored and moved on to other games.
Being middle school students, me and my brother were some kind of sound researchers, we were obsessed with trying to create something, recording jamming sessions in GarageBand of how we played on the furniture in abandoned buildings. And though it sounds primitive, it had a really cool representation in my mind, I felt like I was trying to catch the vibe which is known as "liminal" nowadays. And in effort of finding something representing the vibe, the closest association I had in my mind was somehow that game I played as a child. Years later I found out that it was called Submachine
