I remember this game really affecting me, particularly because I got a bad ending and didn’t realize it has multiple endings.
Highly recommended if you like adventure games.
The story it’s based on is, of course, fantastic too.
How did this game feel to others?
I never knew that was the original author. The game and the book are just an awful (in a good way) experience that left me feeling so gross and hopeless after.
Harlan Ellison narrated the audiobook, and he hammed it up so much when delivering the AM lines (in a good way) that there was really no one else who could have voiced the role in the game by the time it was developed.
The best part about the game is that Ellison also wrote the script and dialogue for it.
I’m pretty sure that the game has a slightly different ending to the book, as well. I didn’t know he did both. Very few things have made me feel as uncomfortable and unsettled as the book/game.
The game has several different possible endings depending on your choices. The short story of course has only one ending: very depressing one that is the title of the story.
