Well and truly star/fucked: Why ‘Pure Again’ is my game of the year
The game part of Pure Again is all interior: what did you mean to do, what did you see, what did you learn? When people dismiss Twine as not productive of truly gamelike experiences, they miss out on the significance of this interiority. Something happens when you reflect on where you are, instead of focusing on changing where you are going. Things will proceed as they were meant to. The tricky thing is how you make sense of it.

I think that might be why playing through Pure Again is therapeutic every time I come back to it. My body is changing so fast these days. The shapes that I hated are fading away, textures are rendered differently, and new shapes are emerging. The meaning of my body is different now, and the feeling of being in this body has completely transformed. Pure Again celebrates the feeling of finally fitting in a body, but it also admits the limitations of your ability to choose your path. Change will never be clean.
