i am not totally on board with alley as a character nor with how easy sudden and exaggerated the ultimate plot-idea this game gets at with an indirection that is (to be fair) itself v pleasant. that together w/ the use of interactivity is cool enough for me to forgive it. i like the color theming, and the writing voice that explains difficult words is really sweet! incredibly spoiler-vulnerable; review is suffering from all the tacks and glass im toeing around. unlike a lot of interactive fiction imo this one's definitely worth it
