Breve ma intensa, November 1, 2022

Si finisce in mezz'ora ma č molto poetico ed immersivo, un post-apocalittico dove per una volta trionfa la speranza.
Certo č troppo beve per lasciare il segno, ma giocarlo č stata un'esperienza piacevolisima.

A unique approach, July 26, 2019
by Personman (Somerville, MA)

This game is in conversation with other art in a way that is unique and (for me at least) extremely effective. Saying more would be spoilers, but I thought this should be here, because it's not obvious from the beginning that you're in for that kind of a thing.

Hope after the apocalypse, March 22, 2018
by verityvirtue (London)
Related reviews: melancholic

You are a Fabricationist, and you are the last of your kind. And now, you have awoken from your centuries-long slumber… and you have a visitor.

This game looks and sounds beautiful. Its soundscape is vaguely industrial, all hollow metal booms and gratings and the squeal of an untuned radio; the backgrounds are swimming watercolours.

This post-apocalyptic salvation story has an emotional heft that transcends the usual stakes implied by a post-apocalyptic story (the loss of life as we know it), thanks to the interactions - the give and take, really - between the narrator and an unexpected companion. Alone, who would have mourned the Fabricationist’s passing, or celebrate his achievement?

This remains one of my favourite games, for its message of hope in the midst of apocalypse is sorely needed these days.

my favourite text adventure, December 10, 2017
by thedigitaldiarist (Canada)

"Fabricationist, what has happened while you slumbered?"
This is a story about remaking the world.

Normally stasis pods and great crystal spires are not my thing, but this is sci-fi I can get behind. You - the Fabricationist, a synthetic being - wake after a long slumber. There are systems to be repaired, memories just out of reach - and suddenly a strange visitor.

The visual styling & sound design of the game pair beautifully with the text. This game isn't so much about choices leading to branching paths - it's more about solving problems and slowly working your way toward the end. It's paced well, and requires enough action to keep you engaged.

I love the atmosphere, the gameplay, the story. And I love that I feel transported to a different world, one that is somehow crumbling and shimmering all at once. Highly recommend.

Excellent sci fi game about rebirth , August 20, 2016
by MathBrush
Related reviews: 15-30 minutes

This is a mid length Twine game set in a post apocalyptic world. You awake from a long sleep, not knowing who or what you are, but knowing what to do.

The game has only a few locations, but each one is packed with detail. The other characters in the game are vivid.

I found the general setting and characters to be very compelling. A must-play for sci fi fans.
