A game about family and war, with several flashbacks, May 12, 2017*

Blink is an odd game with good concepts; you play and old man talking to his grandson about war, havi g several flashbacks to your past. There is brief strong language.

The game has several good points, with a pretty good conversation system, some nice uses of different viewpoints on the same locations, etc.

But the locations don't seem fleshed out, synonyms aren't all the way there, it's short, and it just seems unfinished in a way.

A good effort, October 31, 2007

A short, nearly puzzleless, anti-war familiar drama. Very competent use of the medium and an interesting story. Too rhetorical and deliberate to be genuinely moving, but it gets close. It deserves to be played multiple times.
