I am quite serious about this.

It's long, yet it isn't chock full of colons and numbers that indicate sequels nor does it contain anything remotely cliched (super, darkness, forever, etc.).

The title itself is unique in that it can be seen as directly addressing the player/reader. It can also be taken as "you are all; once you end, so does the world" or "the world will end, and you will end along with it".

The title also commands to given one's attention; as I mentioned earlier about cliched titles, this one grabs your eye amongst a sea of other titles without having to do so in a overbearing way. It is long, yet subtle; in that subtlety, it manages to somehow be easily spotted and conspicuous.

It garners a similar reaction as the title of the film No Country For Old Men where the title itself is long and different from most of the other titles in its corresponding medium, yet it still is cryptic. It is cryptic but its meaning is derived from somewhere inside the movie/game allowing for one to experience that so-called "ah-ha" moment.

I don't know what this game is about at all but I want to find out solely because of the title.

The game is about finishing a supernatural gameshow or you die.

I still think "Sticky Balls" and "Nuts and Milk" are the best titles. <_<
