A downloadable Town for Windows.
I was looking forward to that one, and it did not disappoint.
A desolate industrial town (with the added exoticism of irish cityscape stylings, something rarely found in our gaming worlds) serves as a hub for a series of vignettes, each disturbing in their singular, and collective, implications. Highly stylized, very ambient, slow paced...it really hits all of the sweet spots for me.
Obvious debts to Kitty Horrorshow are on display here, but none of it is perceived as a bad thing (we all can use more of that stuff wherever we can find it). The work stands on its own, though, and will be added to that secret folder on my computer where I keep all those grim yet inspiring game worlds I like to revisit from time to time.
Highly recommended.
