Rebirth

Do you judge the quality of a game by how short it takes to play them? If you do, then you might want to steer clear from Rebirth. For those who are a little more open minded though, here's the story. The game offers only five minutes worth of game time. However, in these five minutes you'll be taken for a ride into a world where the unreal, bizarre and unnerving is the staple. Masterminded by Daniel D. Guertin, the game echoes with disturbing imagery, odd plotlines and surreal landscapes that you might want to play with the lights on for a bit. If you are looking for something different and maybe ready to waste five minutes or so of your time, then go ahead and give this game a download. It'll be five minutes well spent.

The game takes you on a journey through the life of the middle aged protagonist as she takes another look at her life decisions. Even though the game features an odd premise and unlikely hero, it is quite interesting to play. So if you are looking for something new and a little out of the norm, then give this game a go.
