A Small Talk At The Back Of Beyond

Game Number One

So to make up for my lack of competence in finding a game that was suitable to write about in this blog I will be writing about three games over the span of the next three posts. After a bit of looking around I settled on three games that I thought I really enjoyed playing. All of them are different in their own way, but overall they tie in together with their uniqueness. For this post I'll be talking about A small talk at the back of beyond.

To begin with, I want to say that this game is my third choice. Continuing on, A small talk at the back of beyond is a puzzle game. However there is only one question: Where are you? You start off in a room and all you have is yourself and artificial intelligence that calls itself LDAC. However as you continue to ask more and more questions about where you are and what happened, you find LDAC suspicious.

Enough with my poor synopsis for this game. Like most games on this blog, it's really really really short, so you'll be finished in no time. The game really seemed to have a weird feel about it, and to me that was a really great feature about it. Another thing that I liked was how you had control over your options, albeit how limited the word choice may have been. The story was nice as far as games this short could get, and overall it was an enjoyable play.

The game was created by scriptwelder, who coincidentally also developed other games that I have thoroughly enjoyed. You can play it here.

A Somewhat Short Post Today

I have to get up early tomorrow (senior band), so I'll be going to bed now. Erm... I hope you enjoyed the first "review" kind of thing. Really not a lot of that has been done as of late, so I want to start getting back into that routine of finding games that I'd like to share with you.

Thanks for reading this post. Hope that you'll check back here for the next one (and the next game). As for when the next post will come out... you can probably expect it two days from now or something along those lines. I'm an 8 today. Honestly there's no other number that I feel like being, so don't worry about me just not caring about that anymore. I really do, it's just that 8 has been my number for a long time.
