IIRC Ilmari implied the second novel (which I haven't read yet) has more in common with the games.Laukkuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16258625692586860655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-84080948537732022342018-07-11T13:14:59.289+10:002018-07-11T13:14:59.289+10:00This review rather makes me want to read the book!...This review rather makes me want to read the book!arcanetriviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02033767865654085177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-68732090779502795902017-03-24T14:49:11.915+11:002017-03-24T14:49:11.915+11:00This was a really great game to read about.
Well...This was a really great game to read about. <br /><br />Well done, Reiko. You described the action and puzzle solving so well I almost feel like I played it myself.TBDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13815382857422719383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-44565055521378954872017-03-01T06:34:00.188+11:002017-03-01T06:34:00.188+11:00I REALLY enjoyed all the VR scenes in this game--t...I REALLY enjoyed all the VR scenes in this game--tricking you (the character) into believing it was real; forcing you to glitch out the game to break out.

Works well as a climax puzzle.Reikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07326356159794723662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-59620813923254552922017-02-28T00:56:05.395+11:002017-02-28T00:56:05.395+11:00I really enjoyed the Hell VR sequence!

It's great how all the rooms individually are lethal but also provide tools to "break" each other, and I think it's one of the best puzzles I've yet ever encountered in an adventure game.Laukkuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16258625692586860655noreply@blogger.com
