A pretty neat IF title, it puts you in the role of an AI who they've trained by living a human life from the age of 6 months old.
The researchers have created a simulation of the US if a proposed plan goes into place and task you with recording the results 10 years into the future (and later further).
Kind of gives off a time traveller sort of vibe as you jump between the different times and see how the city degrades and what stays the same. And a nice touch is that you get to see how your family reacts to the changes in the world too.
Mostly it's just wandering around trying to find what you've been asked to record in the first act and what you think is important in the second act.
The third act shifts things up (and adds a bit of puzzliness) and the epilogue is rather touching too.
I don't think it comes off as preachy, I can't help but think something like this would today if it was a 3d adventure game.
One grief I experienced playing the game was after playing so much MUD of late I kept forgetting to type "wait" expecting that things would continue without my input. Another was the method of speaking was a bit rough and the fact that it demanded the word "at" when I'd type "look ". Like "look at newspaper" instead of "look newspaper". But minor gripes.
