I was 18 and involved in the same counterculture (zines/alternative music/etc...) in 1995 as the protagonist's sister in this game, so to say that the atmosphere and story told strike a certain chord with me would be an understatement. Having lived in Portland and Seattle as well, many of the posters and venues described were more than familiar to me and kept me wanting to know more about Sam's life.

Yeah, it's a short game, but hell, I spend more than its full price when I go to see a movie which lasts about the same amount of time and which I garner the same amount of entertainment out of.

Look, if you're a homphobic neckbeard who haunts chan boards, or a teenage Call of Duty player, this game isn't for you. But for some of us, it's a wonderful piece of art and nostalgia. For fans of games like Dear Esther or The Longest Journey, that wrap you up in the story of the inhabitants of their worlds and leave you wanting more when they're over , its a must buy.
