Review
I played this after playing Pageant by the same author.
It’s a very different story and expansive in its ambition.
So expansive it’s overwhelming.
There’s so much game play mechanic cleverness going on that in the end I stopped caring as it just seemed to be getting in the way of everything.
There are 3 layers. The fictional story, the fictional fanfic, and the fictional IRL relationships.
I already was overwhelmed by trying to figure out the different ways to set up a profile that ultimately seemed to have little relationship to what was actually happening and all the reposting and blog reading just got tedious.
I wish it had just stuck with 1 of the the 3 fictions.
In the end I just skipped over all the fictional and fanfic stuff and was most interested in the IRL story developing in the messaging.
It’s a shame as there’s such a lot of careful crafted rich detail that has been developed for this fictional world.
And I like the very starting quote about story and the stories we tell.
I found the original article and that is the thing that will stay with me.
And I do wonder what Luna is doing now…
