☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

A fifteen-minute freebie made by one half of the team that made the Stanley Parable, it’s a little gem that takes some of the more meta-game notions explored in good ol the S. P. and goes a bit deeper in on them. While I don’t want to compare it to the Beginner’s Guide, because they’re just very different experiences, I liked how I got to see how the two creators of one very unique went and did their own things in completely different ways that still had their origin at the same point. It’s cool!

Dr. Langeskov and the Short Game Long Name brings my worst fever dreams to life, marriyng game development and the tension of live theatre. It imagines the game - Dr. Langeskov - as a theatre production for one, and you, hapless player, meander around the backstage areas while the ‘real’ game is being played by someone else. The rest is up to the plaiyng.

It takes a couple run throughs to pick up all the achievements, and I liked looking around at everything. A very nice walking sim, and another addition to the ‘meta is betta!’ stable of statement pieces. Give it a shot!

Next up: Now would be a great time for a little hidden object pick me up c:

See you soon!

I think you might have forgotten to edit something :P

I have played it a few days ago and liked it as well. Had any problems with the achievements? I had the amazing luck of 2 of them not unlocking for me even tho they should have.

Oops! I totally did - thank you!

I did, but it wasn’t something that exiting the program completely, restarting it, and doing the achievement again wouldn’t solve (the only one I had a problem with was the desk lamps one). If this game were any longer though I would’ve been pissed.
