NONFICTION
Be warned, this is not much fun. It is about laundry and it will suck to play just about as much as it sucks to do my laundry.
Delron Review Compilation
Big City Laundry is a slice of life story that's probably familiar to anyone who has ever rented an apartment that did not have its own washer & dryer. Part of the draw here is that that makes the situation really easy to empathize with. As a person who has on several occasions not had the pleasure of my own washer/dryer, this game made me feel a lot of, "I know exactly what this guy's talking about!" and "That *is* always what happens." Descriptions tended to be matter-of-fact with a tongue-in-cheek edge and, again, deja vu inducingly familiar. On that level it all felt very true to its role as an experiment in interactive non-fiction.
