The Essence of Eerie
I loved this game! It is lonely and sad and beautiful and evocative and nostalgic and sweet all at the same time. More than anything though, it is deeply eerie - plot, setting, sounds, voices - they all serve to give you a palpable sense of unease that is delightful and compelling. Big kudos to this one-man-show: apart from a couple of oddly tuned obstacles (yes the spider is eventually doable) it is a very polished work, especially the visuals, the plot and the sound design. It is not a full-on RPG, dungeon crawl, or adventure game and it should not be judged by those standards. It is a work of highly immersive interactive fiction and as such is nearly flawless. Fix the spider, give me a little more of an epilogue and it easily earns five stars. As it stands, it is highly recommended and impressive on many fronts.
