CYBERQUEEN, August 30, 2022by Sarah Mak (Singapore) I love the way this uses sentence fragments, which remind me of fast cutting in film. This makes the prose cinematic, and makes the pacing snappier. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
A brilliant SF game, April 5, 2020 by frolic Porpentine quotes herself Harlan Ellison as a major influence, but it seems obvious that Alien and 2001 also play a role in her inspiration. She does more than mixing all these well-known stories in a whole game, she moves the cursor higher and higher, until it reaches its conceptual limit. The result is a perfect piece of techno-horror. The game is now directly available on the author website. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
porpentine never fails to impress, May 29, 2014 by millefeu This is probably my favorite Porpentine game yet. To me, this was a wee bit (but just a wee bit!) easier to follow and comprehend than her usual hyper-surrealist stuff, and I was able to "get into character" a lot more with this game than with any others of hers.

As a SystemShock/Shodan fan, I loved this., July 13, 2013by Hanon Ondricek (United States) This story reads like a prologue to the original System Shock from the point of view of one of the doomed colonists aboard Citadel station. If you've played SS, you remember the absolute unreal amount of gore and viscera and fragments of bodies that litter the hallways, all examples of the experimentation that the mad AI Shodan wrought upon the crew as she created her army of cyborg warriors that were your enemies in the game. This gives you a first person perspective of what that was like. Very gory, very visceral, very adult and would almost qualify as good enough to be one of the original computer logs in that game.

Nightmares Made Flesh, July 10, 2013by Jim Kaplan (Jim Kaplan has a room called the location. The location of Jim Kaplan is variable.) Related reviews: porpentine Play it if: you want a nearly-pure transformation of text into a visceral, cinematic experience. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
