This might be the finest piece of art I've ever come across. You might think this is just a silly short game, but there's much more to it than meets the eye. First of all, let's take a look at the characters. Who are they?
There's the main character. The player can see through their eyes; thus, the main character is obviously the player themselves. The man you're driving with is your mind trying to guide you towards a better future, as he will tell your where to go and what to do while you're completing the actions by yourself. This makes even more sense considering he's DRIVING WITH YOU, so he will guide you while you drive that path as well. The vampire is a threat to you. It's the thing that stands between you and your purpose in life. After you kill him, you are given all the pieces that enable you to continue your journey, which shows you just how much of a plague your fears are and how easily you can make them disappear, despite being absolutely frightening. The cat is the supporting character that you can see in the forest and in a picture (a friend or a family member perhaps). They won't say anything so as to let you make your own choices, but they'll be there for you.
So, what's this game about? When you put all the pieces together, it all becomes so clear. This is not a game about your car getting stuck in the middle of the road and you having to take down a vampire. It's a game about overcoming anything that stands in your way to success, a game about how important family is and how The Smiths is one of the greatest bands out there. This game knows what it is and what message it wants to convey, and it wastes no time in its task, just as it is telling you not to waste any time smashing the vampires lurking near you.
Anyway. These have been the best-spent 5 minutes of my life. Everything was perfect from start to finish: the graphics, the music, the gameplay... Maybe the only weakness of this game is not being longer, except it's not because it has filled its purpose and it has now given me the courage to stand up for myself and achieve my dreams. Thank you, Patrocle.
