Review
This game is a tribute to a character (Elaine Marley) from the Monkey Island games, which I admit I've never played (I've always been more into the 'text' part than the 'adventure' part).
It alternates between notes from the author about his feelings on Elaine Marley and Monkey Island (with some especially fascinating commentary on the layers of reality in the games) and actual gameplay.
I liked both parts. The author notes were fun to read and to compare with my own experiences interpreting and understanding games.
The gameplay parts involved escaping after being kidnapped by the ghostly pirate LeChuck. You mostly explore every option until you find all the items you need, then make some whacky contraption or something to escape. To me it felt like I could feel clever guessing what I needed to do early on, but that if I were stuck, the game would let me try every option until I succeeded.
Overall, I loved the heartfelt feeling the game had, it felt the opposite of impersonal or cold.
