American Election

AMERICAN ELECTION bears the Greg Buchanan seal of chilling and atmospheric brilliance, which I have come to expect from all his work. The game's use of choices serves a greater function than simply existing as a piece of interactive fiction; Greg toys with the formula in clever, thoughtful and surprising ways that render this work something that could not exist in any other genre. It is at once a personal tale and a global one, of which we are all familiar. It submerges you in Abigail's thought process, causes you, the reader/player, to suffer the very same conflictions and doubts that make the man on which this work is definitely certainly absolutely not based so very terrifying. It is mature and considered, and remarkable in its sinister execution. A must-play.
