Default Why can't games be more like THIS?

You know, I've been thinking.

It hurts.


But seriously, I was playing this little interactive gem, and I found myself wondering if it wouldn't be better if all adventure games were made like this. Great production values, elegant controls, and one of the most skillfully crafted plots you'll ever come across.

I'm ocassionally quite harsh on games, but this one's made me a believer.

One very strange but also strangely complelling game there.

I wouldn't quite call it an "Adventure game" though I suppose it was point-'n'-click!
