An interesting entry, and
arguably the only one that could be considered a 'true' introduction. The demo
ends with, what I happen to know, is the title page and a hint at the real
direction that the game is going to go in. Having a little bit of insider
knowledge really helps, because I think that this could be something really
special but I wonder if the uninformed would be bemused and turned-off by the
seeming nonsensical turn of events and confused implementation.
It probably succeeds the most in leaving the player wanting something more, but
what else can be said about it? The struggle of the protagonist to interact
with his world is the whole point, so I can't rag on it for poor implementation.
The same can be said about the confusing interaction with your significant
other, or the seeming random interjections from your own subconscious. This is
the entry that will probably see the wildest swings of scores, and I think that
says something about it. As it stands, it's not quite enough information and
purpose to draw the player in, but it certainly promises something - no doubt
about that.
I'm at a loss what else to add about this game. I'd probably be unimpressed if
I didn't know what kind of thing DB was looking for. As I do have an inkling, I
can be a bit more generous and say that I'm looking forward to this one. Here's
hoping that it sees the light of day...
