Perfectly competent, if bland, philosophical roundabout., July 26, 2025

The IFComp last place has been, in my memory, a place for outright offensive, completely broken or minimum-effort games. This game is none of those: this is a perfectly functional Twine game, narrated entirely in Socratic questioning (or similar). It asks deeply conceptual questions such as "What is desire?". The answers are... well, some answers looped back to previous questions, which is either inspired, or plain frustrating.

Not to read too deeply into it but I had expected the A and B answers to present some sort of dichotomy, perhaps representing two schools of thought. It does not; both present themselves as streams of very similar advice.

I came out of this more confused than before, if nothing else.
