Worth a second look!
At first glance, this "game" appears to be just a movie broken into parts, with questions in between that mean nothing and do nothing to the movie...but that's where you would be wrong! When you realise that your choices affect the film, it becomes so much more interesting. I'm not exactly sure what is going on, but it seems that the game checks on a handful of your insecurities and shapes the world to fit it... In short, what happens the first time you play this game is you go "Oh...this played out exactly the way I thought it would, what a boring story." But in actual fact, it's been tracking your trust and distrust of the characters throughout and altering the movie to play the way you think it would. All the while, providing psychiatrists notes about you, the player as you make your choices. From what I've now read on TLC, there are as many as six endings and the scenes can change from sedate to downright steamy! Unfortunately, from what I've also read, there is supposed to be a final psychiatric work up given at the end of the story, which I didn't see in this version...which could be because it's pretty damn buggy! In fact, for a point and click game I experienced a game breaking bug which wouldn't let me click on any of the hotspots. In short, the story was interesting and definitely worth a look at, I think TLC would definitely benefit from multiple play-throughs, perhaps with a group of friends, trying to sway the story certain ways. I'd give 3 1/2 stars if it were an option. Grab it if it's on sale, and you're in to interactive novels.
