The Gate

Author:Owen Parish
Genres:Fantasy
Surreal
Released:2004
Review:

Mostly conversation with an NPC in a dreamlike environment. There are multiple possible outcomes; what is frustrating is that it is never quite clear what any of these outcomes means, or why you are making this choice in the first place. If the conversation had revealed a background that was somewhat less vague, this would be a much more compelling piece.

Rating: ***
