The residents of the city are drafted one by one into a new play. It's the hit of the season and applause rings out night after night. But why do all the people that come to see it disappear? What does "immersive theatre" mean... and will BB survive to tell anybody else?

The closest game thus far to the old style, 50 Short Games-era thecatamites and a little rote as a result, but damn dude video games are like being forced to be a terrible actor. Found the first-person opening sequence to be the strongest part of it, the deep black surrounding flat, brightly-colored surfaces reminds of the best parts of Thief: The Dark Project. The allusions to futurism felt a little less purposeful than they did in Hands, but do work to give the series a Brand Identity: remains to be seen if it'll do anything funny with that. Cop encounter had the best punchline in the series thus far.
Contemplating whether BB and ZZ should be read as they're written or like CC from Code Geass.

Really loved this one, even among the others I've played in the series thus far. The use of multiple player perspectives was a nice shift, the art, as usual, really popped, and the less focused, narrative-skewing within this one made it a blast to play through. It provides answers and questions to things posed by previous entries and makes sure you don't have any idea which is which. Also god the Prisonman set sequence was astonishing.
