what a weird game. there’s this whole crazy world where a fairly simple story is set. i’d like to see more of that world, which is why i played all the way through. it doesn’t actually make use of much of it though — i still have so many questions. that kept me going for the 4 hours it took me to play through it, even though the ending didn’t really provide much like where the the human torso but inky dark blue head and limbs came from.

the fighting was sometimes frustrating. i never really managed to get block counter to work, and often what was happening in the combat wasn’t making sense to me. for example i could totally lose a fight barely able to land a punch, then load the latest autosave and run the same strategy and get through with barely a scratch. maybe that was just me never making sense of it — i don’t particularly enjoy fighting games, especially first-person. i guess if you have this in your backlog it’s quite a different sort of story experience so maybe give it a shot!
