I replaced the Not Doppler link of Pretentious Game 5 with the Armor Games link because, as far as I know, Not Doppler will not be hosting any Pretentious Game after Flash expires in January 2021, but Armor Games will. Unfortunately, Armor Games doesn't host Pretentious Game 4, but Not Doppler does, so for now, that link will stay. Hopefully I can find a link to Pretentious Game 4 on a site that'll still have it in January.

''Pretentious Game'' is a series of flash games made by Keybol. The gameplay is very simple: you use the arrow keys (and the mouse when required) to control [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience different colored squares]] and solve various puzzles. With each puzzle, there is a sentence or two that gives a clue on how the puzzle is solved. Along with serving as hints, the sentences are used to tell [[EmotionalTorque a surprisingly emotional story]] about love and loss.
