About the Story

The year is 1999. The place is Godfield, Louisiana: the tech capital of the world, where the sky bleeds acid and the mud boils in the bayou. It’s time for your state-mandated digital therapy.

Choicebeat Magazine
Computerfriend, Familiar, and the Choice-Rot Sensibility
I think Computerfriend and its companion Familiar exemplify some of my favorite tendencies in contemporary independent games, the "choice-rot" bleeding edge: a focus on inner worlds, a stark confrontation with the miseries of contemporary knowledge work/therapy/romance/everyday life, a black humor and exaggerated comedy of so-called therapeutic methods, and the possibilities for poetic revolt, erotic release, or marvelous escapism. Highly recommended for freaks and the freak-adjacent.
