Jane

Author:Joseph Grzesiak
Genre:Slice of life
Released:2002
Review:

A serious, story-heavy look at the problem of domestic abuse. Similar to Photopia in its basic design, this doesn't have much by way of puzzles, but presents a narrative from the viewpoint of several different player characters. Reactions have been somewhat mixed, but this is a moderately effective piece despite the generic characterizations of the major players. Not particularly light-hearted or fun.

Rating: ****
