I didn't think it was available yet for some reason. I just looked at the page again and I guess it is. Tongue I'll have to wait until I get my PC back (my wife is using it atm).

I just played it, and I thought it was a very clever game-about-games. It managed to be clever and witty all the way through, and the narrator was absolutely wonderful.

If anything, it seems to give an important message about playing games. Smiley

It's really...entertaining...in a very good way. Playing it was a delight for me. Very sly and witty.

I'm glad I went through all the trouble to get this to run on a Mac.

The style of the humor seemed very Douglas Adams.

I liked it too! Replayed 3 times, and managed to be more clever each one. Very meta.

I finally got around to playing it. Yeah, it was very cool. I thought it was very encouraging that it was received so well. There is a hunger out there for (not)games.

There has always been a hunger out there for experiences that are well-crafted and for adults. In my opinion, all that's left is the how.

That's why we are gathered here. Smiley To find out how.
