Played one time. I liked the experience so far, but I got the "undefined error" ending and that was a complete disappointment. I don't care about alternative endings if the first playthrough wasn't worth it. Give me one good ending, one good playthrough, and then I'll consider playing again to get to the alternative branches ...

You found an intentional glitch, the alternative endings are not alternative but rather continuations, keep playing.

So basically this game is creepypasta where you are supposed to get horrified about how violent and uncaring gamers are, have a meaningful conversation with your friend where you just try to understand his problems (video games?) without getting frustrated, then call your mom to save you in order to win. Then it lets you go back to save your friend from video games because you understand. THEN you find out it's all j…

I think his point is that the first ending isn't that interesting, so he didn't continue. I was pretty much the same way.

Only, the first ending isn't and `ending' but more like the first chapter.
The game is great the first time around, but it's absolutely boring the second time around. I'm just skipping through the text because it's stuff that I've read the first time around.

I'm sorry but I call BS. In the author notes it doesn't try to say that games are a bad influence at all. Nor does it try to shame the gaming industry. The author notes go over why he created the game, and how his childhood experiences and the current state of the gaming industry both affected the creation of the game. He doesn't even mention Nintendo what-so-ever in the notes, neither does he focus on violence. You…
I admit I could be misinterpreting a lot here. The author isn't being very straight forward about his opinions, but there is absolutely a negative light being cast on the gaming community, maybe because of exactly what you say, that it is a powerful medium. Correct me if I'm wrong, but at least you could say that this entire creation is a response to the "gamergate" scandal that has been going on? My take from this i…
