This is a very unpleasant game.

"The future is all kinds of hosed up" is very hard to make work in my experience. There was another piece of fiction I read once (it's here, don't read it, it's godawful) where one of the writer's attempts to do that was "In the future, rape is legal." It would take a heroic effort of writing to make that an element of your story without me concluding that you're a gross weirdo and noted idiot Eliezer Yudkowsky pulls no such thing off. Similarly this game has done plenty to convince me that its writers are gross weirdos and so far very little to convince me of the contrary.

I haven't gotten a read on the Boss at all. She seems to be like dogs and just sort of does things arbitrarily. Monkey cheese random and an irrelevant backstory seem to be all there is to her.

Anoia posted:Besides that, the fans of this game scare me a lot more than the defenders of Her Story. I liked Her Story just fine but from what I've heard the reasons people cite for not liking it are things like "this story is dumb" and "the twist is bad" and "the actress can't act". Valid reasons to dislike the game, but probably not cause to bring out the torches and pitchforks and hunt down the creators. This game isn't incompetent, or at least that's not its primary problem. It's just gross and objectionable.

That was French for "my hovercraft is full of eels" if you didn't catch that. Blurf.

I keep posting this in every thread where it comes up but what's good about Gone Home to my mind has nothing to do with the trite lesbian coming of age plot. What's really cool is the subtler side plots about your dad's writing, your parents' strained relationship and your great uncle the repentant but unforgiven child molester.
