 Needs an Author's Cut, June 12, 2008by Marsh (Oxfordshire, UK) The game deserves 4 stars. A good edit would get it 5 stars. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

worthy of favorites, June 11, 2008by cunningjames (Greensboro, NC) The surreal qualities of this game hide, I think, that it is an exploration of (Spoiler - click to show)grief -- and an artful one. I should hope that this resonates with anyone similarly affected. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

One of my favorites, November 22, 2007by Benjamin Sokal (Elysium pod planting enclosure on Mars) One of my favorite games, Blue Chairs is surreal at its best. It's not surreal for its own sake, but to underpin the emotional state of the protagonist. You are Dante Hicks (no, not the one from Clerks), and you begin the game by drinking a bottle of unknown liquid from a strange man. From there you drift from reality to dream to nightmare to who-knows-what state you're in and back again, but it is all amazingly cohesive. Dancing in the Dance Like an interactive fiction version of a David Lynch movie, Blue Chairs manages to be confusing, provocative, beautiful, and in the end packs a surprising emotional punch.
