'''''Ugly''' creature.''
'''''[http://www.kongregate.com/games/AlexanderOcias/loved Loved]''''' by Alexander Ocias is a short platformer about... well, this is one of those games that the developer encourages you to interpret yourself. The game rather simply controls with the arrow keys, with up jumping and down ducking. On occasion, you're given choices you make by clicking on the bold words on the screen. The narrative text follows you throughout the game. It will order you to do or not do things at certain points in the game. The game will alter the game world and your ending depending on how consistently you obey.
The game design is stark, minimal, and unsettling. The narrative is confrontational, and you're left to interpret your own meaning from the often cruel tone. It's a quick but interesting art game.

* [[Bold Inflation]]
* [[But Thou Must!]]: Played with. The game does "punish" you for not doing as the narration directs, but you can still play through, ignoring its directives. The only time you have no choice but to obey is {{spoiler|at the end, when it says "DO NOT FAIL". Even if you die, it doesn't count it as a failure (i.e. you don't get insulted), and it still says "DO NOT FAIL" until you obey}}.
** {{spoiler|At one point you are asked: Do I own your body, or your mind? (You don't get to reply "neither".)}}
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: Even when the whole thing is going epileptic, anything that hurts you remains red.
* [[Death Is a Slap
* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]: If you select not to get instructions: "You will fail."
* [[Forced Tutorial]]: Averted, as you don't get a tutorial at all. Even if you ask the voice to teach you how to play, it will reply "You do not deserve it". It will then mock you if you try to use a button that isn't used in the game (for example, pressing SPACE to jump will yield "You are wrong", and using the mouse gets "Not that, you will control nothing".
Line 24 ⟶ 23:
* [[Interface Screw]]: The game world gets... trippy... if you disobey.
* [[Mission Control Is Off Its Meds]]:
{{quote|
Player: "Hell no." *jumps over barbs*
''How '''disappointing'''.'' }}
* [[Multiple Endings]]: It depends if you're obedient or disobedient, and on the answer you give at the very end.
