One of my favorite cuts in film is towards the end of La Jetée: the prisoner, and the camera, gaze on the woman he has spent his time in the experiment chasing and then it instantly transforms into the scientist's face. The dream is over, reality has come to collect you.

This is the first game in my memory that has replicated that feeling. I realize it's hyperbolic to compare this modest quasi-visual-novel to one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time but I'm being honest about that excitement it left me with. The "I've never thought to tell a story like this" excitement. Excellent.

Aside: The URL for this Backloggd page spells out "If Found Dot Dot Dot" and I will be sure to pronounce it as such from now one.
