 A curiously, intriguingly revolting world, Sat 20th Aug 2011

As with "The Wheels Must Turn," Heal Butcher's unique writing is the star here. This piece also has much the same tone as "Wheels"-- a super-dark, somewhat absurdist piece one might speculate was written with chemical assistance-- but it approaches the same themes of grotesquerie from a slightly different angle that allows the player the sense of agency missing from Heal's other work. Admittedly, it is quite short adventure, but the suggestive worldbuilding evidenced in it is so strongly compelling it's hard not to get sucked in. |
