 Another Ellison Wonderland... December 11, 2005
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is easily the darkest, most original, and most adult-oriented PC adventure games I've ever played; a wonderful fluke from the glory days of PC adventure gaming.
Harlan Ellison worked very closely with the writers and artists behind this little gem, and it shows. Each of the characters from his best-known short story are carefully fleshed out and given elaborate backstories here as they continue the hopeless struggle against AM. Truly sad to think that a game like this will most likely never be made again
I should add that it's sad to see that this title is now so hard to find... I got mine at a yard sale for $5. (But you can't have it. Don't even ask.)

If you liked the book, you will absolutely fall in love with this game. If you've never heard of the book but enjoy dystopian fiction or just vintage video games, then this is a wonderful addition to your collection.
The storyline is deliciously dark and depressing and is certain to make you tingle if you love ironic tragedy. The graphics are clearly dated, but match the grave tone of the story and bleak mood of the characters perfectly. The puzzles are interesting and original and unlike too many adventure games, are actually well integrated into the plot. This is an irreplaceable classic!
