Una canción interactiva, December 2, 2025

Tercer parte de las entregas ectocómpicas de Ruber, esta vez basada en una canción y en una historia trágica sobre los peligros del activismo cuando se ataca a poderes superiores. También es una fábula sobre la lucha contra la codicia, la integridad y el sentimiento de pertenencia a un pueblo llevado hasta las últimas consecuencias.

Por la parte jugable tiene varias ramas que explorar, si bien no sé si hay modo de cambiar los eventos, lo que puede resultar algo frustrante. Nada que no suceda en la vida misma, de todos modos. Buena prosa y ambientación, como suele ser habitual.

An environmental assassination, December 1, 2025
Related reviews: 15-30 minutes

I was glad to get this game in my randomized list, as Ruber is someone who’s consistently produced good games for a decade.

This game taught me a lot. I thought at first it was a fictional story about a pro-Amazon forest activist who is murdered by activists, but apparently her life and death were real.

After your death, you have the option of your spirit spreading out and inhabiting various life-forms. I thought that would result in a short branching game, but instead you occupy all of them in turn: a river, a wolf, a tree.

The writing was poetic and pretty. The themes reminded me of Captain Planet, which I watched enthusiastically as a kid, and Ferngully. But knowing it was real made it way more sad. It’s definitely a topic I’ll research more in the future and talk about with my students (some of which are very into environmental conservation).

La balada del activismo trágico, December 2, 2025

Una entrada que entra en la categoría de la rememoración de quienes ya no están con nosotros.

A pesar de ser un relato por opciones tiene algo de la tridimensionalidad de los juegos de parser. No se nos permite evitar el fatal destino sufrido por Berta Cáceres, pero podemos explorar el espacio de la casa, sus recuerdos, y esos detalles contribuyen a hacer el momento más real y a meternos en la piel de la activista. Ruber integra hábilmente hermosos textos de Berta y consigue emocionar relatando los avatares de la trasnmigración de su espíritu en comunión con los montes, bosques, el río y los animales de su pueblo intercalándolos con el avance de las máquinas, el cemento y la destrucción.

En este caso no he localizado grandes variaciones siguiendo otras alternativas, pero la prosa y la lírica tienen fuerza y he disfrutado de mi segunda lectura.

Mención especial para la portada que es impresionante.
