The Killer
A small game poem / notgame inspired by the thousands of senseless killings committed in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge regime. Takes about three minutes to play through and requires no gaming skills. Originally for my GameTrekking project in 2011.
This game was ported to HTML5 in 2022 by myself, Raven Lickey, and Grayson Molesworth. The port is true to the original Flash version, except that the option to play the whole game with music was notably removed. The original Flash version can still be played via the Gametrekking Omnibus.

I played this game long ago when flash was still around. When I first played it I didnt understand what the hell it meant I suppose I was to young. But now. This was beutiful. A haunting but beutiful reminder of humanity. Thank you for making this game.
