A downloadable game.
Beyond Reach is a tidy, gorgeous game. It allows two players, as a mech and its pilot, to tell a bittersweet epistolary story of love and longing in a time of war.
The two letter-writers don't know whether their words will ever reach their intended recipient; maybe they're just talking to themselves after all. Beyond Reach's beauty lies in the emotional drama of that uncertainty.
Annie establishes the setting and the structures of play with a masterfully evocative style. Playing Beyond Reach feels like working with your fellow player to contribute one small, sad story to a varied, yearning constellation. I can't recommend it enough.
