Halothane

Endearing and innovative, Halothane focuses on exploration and symbolism. The few puzzles are complex but surprisingly intuitive, rewarding players who take cues from the environment and immerse themselves in the detailed environments. The themes of the author's struggles are wrapped in lighthearted banter and extensive description. The latter portion of the game changes tone and protagonist, though the resolution feels rushed and does not plug back in to the overall theme.
It is possible to complete the game with much still left to discover.
