Among the games I got to play this year I may have developed a strong and somewhat obsessive attraction to to hypertextual and nonlinear interactive adventures like Serial Experiments Iain and One Shot in the Dark, Now I'm Dead, but I simply find that projects like this are really brilliant to begin with and open up some really incredible expressive possibilities in terms of narrative scope.
Mémoire 0079 offers a series of documents among which to navigate that recount the terrible conflicts and sombre political dynamics of a near future in a highly detailed and vividly verisimilar manner, choosing to range between journalistic excerpts, extracts from official communications, interviews, and diaries in a very intriguing way.
