Alpha Hole Prison is a surreal, mind-bending odyssey through the cancerous inner-thoughts of the prisoner that once occupied the Alpha Hole’s capsule. In this dreamlike, sidescrolling dark fantasy, the player will navigate a prison, locate items, unlock new areas, and unravel the psychological mindfuckery that drove this unfortunate soul to such dark, violent ends.
In this point and click game, the player controls a point and click-style character, who can “interact” with the environments and with the player’s character through talking to other characters and their physical objects.
The game has a dark, surreal tone and is inspired by and a tonal homage to the games of the author’s youth. One of the games that author grew up playing was Myst, which is the inspiration for the whole Alpha Hole Prison.
Includes special bonus features, blooper reel, and concept art.

The problem I have is that he’s very, very good at it, so I feel like I’m not participating at all if he’s just watching. I’m not particularly interested in being in a group, but I like having my own personal time. I think this guy is great and I like hanging out with him, but I don’t want to be occupied by watching him watch other people.
Is there any common approach to dealing with this kind of situation?
A:
I would just tell your friend that he’s been doing too much of that and needs to do more. Tell him that you enjoy spending time with him but you enjoy doing things too. I know people who have similar problems with couch potato, and they’ve always been able to solve it by actually getting up off the couch and doing things they enjoy. It may just be a good idea to show your friend what that looks like and tell him that he could always invite you along.
If that fails, then probably just leave them and find your own friends.
I think that you’re right to feel like you’re not participating if he just watches. There’s really no reason to keep spending time with someone who is only going to be there to watch you participate. You certainly don’t want to get
