1-10 of 10 Other people may find this game preachy. I did not. Others may find it too short; I did not. For what it was, it was precisely the right length, and filling it out further would have detracted from it.

If it really had offered multiple paths, it could have been a compelling presentation of difficult choices, a la Tapestry. Even if it had remained on rails but its story and characters had been better fleshed out, it might have made a pretty moving character study. In its current state, though it's nicely implemented and it hangs together okay, it feels falsely advertised, and there's just not enough meat on its bones.

A game about family and war, with several flashbacks, June 5, 2017by MathBrush Blink is an odd game with good concepts; you play and old man talking to his grandson about war, havi g several flashbacks to your past. There is brief strong language. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

A good effort, October 31, 2007A short, nearly puzzleless, anti-war familiar drama. Very competent use of the medium and an interesting story. Too rhetorical and deliberate to be genuinely moving, but it gets close. It deserves to be played multiple times. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
- Quintin Stone (NC), October 23, 2007 Baf's GuideBlink clearly has been conceived as an antiwar piece, but the overall effect is pretty weak. The reasons for that are the paper-thin implementation, but mostly the fact the author seems to know only roughly what he wants to say. Although the game has almost no puzzles, there's at least one spot to get you stuck. -- Valentine Kopteltsev
