A minimalist heartbreaker

Friends, please help me remember, and possibly find, a game I once played. It was a lo-res adventure game where the main character was given a choice between claiming a treasure or proceeding with a partner.

If you choose the treasure, you continue alone, grow old, and die.

If you choose the partner, you continue farther, grow old, watch your partner grow old and die, then die.

I remember it hit me like a ton of bricks. People I told about it scoffed, so I sent it to them, and to a person they wept.

Does anyone else remember this?
