| Description | I'm doing some re-prioritizing right now. Making maps is fun, but it sucks away too much of my time. I can't sit down to make a map for ten minutes without at least two hours going by, and while that may be good for the quality of my maps, it's bad for me. So I'm leaving. Bye. |

This city is soulless, and cold. Every day I see zombie-like stiffs shuffling to work, wearing their Distino ties and Gucci moccasins, unaware and ignorant of the beauty that they blissfully ignore. When I became aware of the nature of this city, I swore rebellion. This is why I run.
Nothing liberates more than running. Exploring. Discovering. Every day I find another architectural eccentricity - an absurdism of reality – an individual in design. Yes, I may one day perish while stealing the city’s gold, but I’ll never submit to the final hard caress of this city’s solid tungsten fingers.

mmmkay
new review time.
Anyway, I would very much urge everyone to go play more icathus maps. I don't care if you've played all of them. Play more.
He's amazing.

Come on guys, stop blaming squibs.
That's a nice written and inspring review. And I like the map, it gives you the 'sandbox' feeling, and a bit of optional challenge. Although an exit would be nice for highscoring. ^_^
it's why i still like this map despite being a survival, the inbred double cousin of n genres.

She looked like a man
in drag.
Nothing against that at all, merely an observation.

she was a fucking /babe/.
Please note that at the time of writing, I had never seen a single picture of her.

but...that was the point, ethel. :S
The title of the map implies oppression, at least in my eyes, and I based the review off that.
Also, I would argue that it has a heap of freedom. It's about a lone character resisting the oppression, and striving to remain free through exploration and discovery, not too different from Winston from 1984, or what's-her-name (Jade?) from Mirrors Edge. O.o

Like a really great speech given in by a frat boy in an american pie movie. Also i didn't think it described the map very well, because imo it had very little freedom.

Not at the map. You're entitled to that opinion.
