Abstract and surreal little game. The first scenario--in which you interact with a variety of inanimate objects, most of which have complex relationships with each other and highly distinct personalities--works very well; the implementation is thorough and the whole thing is imaginatively done. After that, things tail off a bit--the puzzles get rather obscure and the implementation becomes rather slipshod in parts. Still, the first scene alone makes this one worth trying.
