A long sci fi game with several twists, about a dystopia future and racism, June 8, 2016LASH is a long, well-polished game by Paul O Brian. This game predates the Earth and Sky games by a year.
This game has a major twist, so some of this review will be in spoilers.
The first half of the game is a scavenger hunt similar to adventure or Zork but in a near future world. You command a partially organic robot. You collect items for money.
(Spoiler - click to show)This half is a shame. None of the puzzles matter at all besides entering the large steel door. When you do, in the atric you find a realistic simulation of the slavery era, where you take the identity of a young girl. It seems open and difficult, but this part of the game is completely linear with very mild puzzles. Once you complete it, you return to the real world where you and the partially organic robot deal with its future.
This is a psychologically intense game, with some strong profanity, racial slurs, torture and rape, presented in a non-gratuitous way.
