Unraveling God offers some fairly strong writing, making use of narrative techniques -- a high degree of linearity, switches between scenes, and movement back and forth in time -- reminiscent of Photopia. It manages to achieve some highly effective moments.
At other points, it slips into the ludicrous and/or preachy, relies on some tired cliches of science fiction morality and What Man Was Not Meant To Know, and ultimately forces an ending that is not entirely satisfactory.
