Enjoyable, but ultimately flawed, November 16, 2009by JonathanCR I found it hard to evaluate this game. On the one hand, it’s very well written, the plot is engaging, it’s all well implemented, there are many striking images and it draws you in. On the other – well, I leave it feeling very dissatisfied with how it all turns out. (Note: the rest of this review contains unhidden *mild* spoilers - don’t read it if you want the playing experience to be totally unspoiled - I have of course hidden the more explicit spoilers.)

Comments on this reviewPrevious | << 1 >> | Next Audiart, April 6, 2010 - Reply I didn't consider the beginning of the game to be part of the pilots hallucination. Rather, the beginning and end are separate parallel universes. The 'vision' is an alternate (in this case, unhappy) path for either protagonists journey. There are actually quantum theories about parallel universes having points of intersection such as the one in this story! Whether or not that's true, it makes a good basis for science fiction. Dannii, November 18, 2009 - Reply Thanks for noting that there are really three realities, that makes quite a bit more sense. The question is, what is up with the first? Also, don't the dream sequences seem out-of-character for our heroine? JonathanCR, November 20, 2009 - Reply Yes, this is what really baffled me. (spoilers ahead!) I can understand why the Wolf of reality 3 would induce the illusion of reality 2 into our heroine (to persuade her not to fly). But why does he induce reality 1 first? *Does* he induce it, or is that some kind of independent hallucination? Why is it the longest and most detailed one? I find this very puzzling. You're right about the dreams too. I find it hard to see where they fit in. They occur during reality 1, the status of which is, as I said, very vague to start with. Should we think of them as dreams within dreams? (That said, they are very well implemented and striking.) |
