Blue Chairs is the Donnie Darko of interactive fiction. In other words pretentious meaningless crap!

Surrealism for the sake of it and nothing to back it up. Nothing in the dream sequences has any relation to the main story, nothing in the dream sequences has any internal tie. Blue chairs?! They mean nothing. Surrealism always comes hand in hand with symbolism, but there is none whatsoever in this utter waste of time. I really feel cheated of my time, that's why I won't mention any of the postitive aspects of this "game". None of the NPCs, some of which could have been very interesting if more developed, has any more function than being a placeholder or MacGuffin. And don't get me started about the end!

I would have given a 2 if it were not for the fucking MAZE. (the author uses "fuck" a lot so I do it as well) This is also where the hint system fails.

How can this win any award, let alone best game?!

For a similar, much better, game try Narcolepsy, it's not perfect either but at least it doesn't have a maze!
