A largely linear but powerful story about a psychic-turned-detective, May 10, 2017This was my favorite game of the comp, on the strength of its writing and its use of kinetic links.
In this game, you play a fake psychic who discovers their true powers after being roped into a murder investigation.
The gameplay resolves around big chunks of text with little choices that change some flavor text. I usually don't like this style, but the concept of a psychic\detective trying to prove himself is great for this style; it makes you hunt the text for clues, trying to figure out what angle to approach a person, to guess what item to use next. It reminds me of Arthur Conan Doyle's stories, with a strong attention to gathering clues from clothing, appearance, and clues.
The styling is gorgeous, the machinery runs smooth, the graphics are good. Does this mean Parser is dead? No, it just means that there's twice as many games to enjoy.
