Indeed. Have you played it?

I didn't think it was available yet for some reason. I just looked at the page again and I guess it is. :P I'll have to wait until I get my PC back (my wife is using it atm).

I just played it, and I thought it was a very clever game-about-games. It managed to be clever and witty all the way through, and the narrator was absolutely wonderful.

If anything, it seems to give an important message about playing games. :)

It's really...entertaining...in a very good way. Playing it was a delight for me. Very sly and witty.

I'm glad I went through all the trouble to get this to run on a Mac.

I played it.
It didn't move me.

The style of the humor seemed very Douglas Adams.

I liked it too! Replayed 3 times, and managed to be more clever each one. Very meta.

I finally got around to playing it. Yeah, it was very cool. I thought it was very encouraging that it was received so well. There is a hunger out there for (not)games.

There has always been a hunger out there for experiences that are well-crafted and for adults. In my opinion, all that's left is the how.

That's why we are gathered here. :) To find out how.
