Amazing, August 20, 2011

The atmospheric detail was amazing. I did not find the town too large and never had to draw a map to manage the different locations. Emily does a fabulous job of giving each sector of the city a unique feel, which helps the player to mentally manage the different locations and directions. It was highly immersive and enjoyable. I did get stuck a couple times, but a quick tour back through the different locations and manipulation of a couple different objects at two different locations succeeded in moving the game forward. I thought I knew what the ending was going to be, but having played it twice, I was surprised and caught off guard by one of the possible endings. The amusing feature after finishing the game is fun, and I had a hard time focusing on the housework I was trying to accomplish in between bouts of playing this game. It is truly that immersive!!
