This adventure by Ben Chandler was initially released as a part of the Summerbatch bundle before being released for free later in January/2013. This is the story of Moira, a mercenary with a severe drink problem, desperate to ensure she keeps forgetting whatever it is that she’s forgotten. Haunted by dreams, and having lost track of her murderous past, she’s aimless and depressed, on the hunt for coin to buy more booze. As you might expect, this of course means you’re headed on a journey of some self-discovery. Heading to collect your money from your most recent client, you find he’s betrayed you by dying, and taking his money with him. So things start off with an attempt to reclaim the coins, and spiral off into something far more complex shortly after. It's primarily formed of conversations, which gives the game a significant interactive fiction vibe. There are puzzles too, there’s an inventory, but for the most part you’re chatting with the game’s other characters, occasionally running favours for them, and opening up your understanding of the situation as you go along. And it’s compelling. |
