| Review: | Seemingly meant to be an introduction to a longer game--Captain Chaos, villain, is on his way to conquer and enslave a planet--but memorable chiefly for its grammatical weirdness: the game flips back and forth between second and third person, and tries to maintain a distinction between "you" and the person (Captain Chaos) you're controlling. It's thoroughly confusing (partly because it's not as consistent as it might be), and it overshadows what's otherwise a reasonably solid, if not all that exciting, little game--the puzzles are fairly ho-hum. Worth a look if narrative-voice experiments excite you.
Rating: ***
