You, by Carter X Gwertzman
Yes!, October 22, 2024

Very esoteric (and sometimes flat out weird), but cleverly designed! I liked the way it played around with colours and pronouns to take on an enigmatic and slightly puzzling taint (pun intended). Its weirdness, in a way, reflected the strangeness surrounding humans' search for meaning and identity (in other words, this was absurd art well done), especially by sticking labels on everyone and everything. The world was small and the puzzles were somewhat straightforward but, interestingly enough, I wasn't left wanting more from them, nor from the (few) characters, map, etc. I tried comparing how this IF made me feel to one of similar calibre, *Focal Shift*, and concluded that this one feels like it ends on a significantly more satisfactory and final note.

Campfire, by loreKin
Thoughtful simplicity done well, October 22, 2024*

This was rather pleasant and I suppose plucked on my heart strings, since camping is one my family's traditions of which I am particularly fond and nostalgic. As for the game itself, I find this was simplicity done the right way! The way the prologue (whilst waiting to leave work) is set up pays off really nicely into the simple yet curious choices you are asked to make regarding what things you will pack and what activities you will do. 🙂 The descriptions were short yet thoughtful, and it's just made me ache for nature once again, as I find myself getting lost in all this constant, droning technology!!
