I played it with the intention of winning, but I gave in to my emotions on the penultimate day. My wife was already dead, it was “two days until every cell on Earth is dead”, and if I went to work I might never have time for my daughter again.
This wasn’t a rational decision, and in retrospect I regret it, but given another chance I wouldn’t change it. I’m pretty sure I would do that in real life too—or I would if I hadn’t already had a Flash game explain the consequences to me.
Apparently I am well-intentioned but too emotional. Potentially useful information.
I lost.

And now I know what those characters might feel like.
A rational intelligence would have acted otherwise, but I’m not one, and it’s good to be reminded of that.
I did even worse. It was probably good for me to be reminded of that.
I hope I never have to know what those characters feel like.
