The game that Russell shared ("Glum Buster") reminded me a lot of another game called "The Company of Myself."

It has been consistently of one of the most highly rated games on Kongregate.Com, and has received some impressive praise from users:
- "This game is truly a masterpiece. It is a piece of art. Every level had a good design, and a good meaning. I cried at the ending. 10.10"
- "This storyline is greatly moving and saddening, and provoked a very depressing emotional response from me. I was so touched upon seeing the final report that I was nearly brought to tears. This truly is a masterpiece of a game, and is nothing short of beautiful."
It is similar to Glum Buster in that both introduce a variety of mechanics and puzzles as the levels progress -- some are humorous and others are rather fiendish.
What sets this game apart, as alluded to by the user comments, is the story. Company's story is revealed piece by piece as users move through the game via the commentary of the character. It it worth it to play all the way through.
That and it does a GREAT job with the copy/time mechanic. Agreed, great game!
