The overly meta-story that wears its influences (King, Twin Peaks, Twilight Zone) on its sleeve is as charming as ever, even when it doesn't work as well as it did over ten years ago.

The combat and controlling the sluggish out of shape writer, which was never great, now often holds back the majority of the gameplay.

Still, this is worth playing as it is one of the few games that actually tries to experiment with its narrative.
