In this game, the user participates in the textual formation of a virtual human. By filling in strings of text under simple constraints, the user can create any number of possible humans from the absurd to the serious or even the abstract whom they might later see shaving, eating, and pondering.

Inspired by a Jørgen Leth film.

  Surprisingly fun though I am not much into arty pieces, Sun 27th Aug 2023
By Denk - See all my reviews

This game was fun and made me think. It is however quite short. I decided to play the Adrift 4 version as it is easier to play with Parchment in a browser.

I really like this. It’s polished. I like the premise. It’s interesting. It’s brief. And at the end, it gives you something to think about.

But it is an acquired taste. Very.

  A Brief Diversion, Sat 21st Feb 2009
By Anonymous - See all my reviews

After reading the "About the Story," section of "the virtual human," page, I was intrigued. I’ve experienced other works of IF that have offered personal insights, but this piece is not one of them. The decisions that the player is expected to make are for the most part superficial.

This work is inspired by a Jorgen Leth film. Since I am not familiar with the film, I can’t say to what degree this work mimics the film. However, I suspect that this work has the same issues that IF works inspired by non-interactive media suffer from. This work runs as if it were on rails. The decisions made by the player do not affect the outcome of the work.

Still, even with these issues, this work is smooth and polished. It is interesting to play through once.
