Review
This is a conversation-powered, living poem in which two people uncover a village previously submerged by a dam. As they uncover layers of the physical landscapes, so they also uncover the landscapes of the PC's childhood and family.
Everything is fragmentary, forgotten, which creates a sort of creeping horror. The unpredictable visual design adds to that.
The game has a striking use of images throughout, and whether by design or browser variability, the text design occasionally looks buggy - text sometimes appears in unexpected places, or laid out in odd ways. Here I chose to see that as part of the effect of the game.
The Good People was intriguing, not least because it scratched my particular itch of exploring abandoned landscapes and memories.
