Anyone ever play this? It's quite the strange game. In fact, as one reviewer put it, it's more a "multimedia experience" then a game. The game is inspired by the avant garde band "The Residents" who all wear masks and no one actually knows who the members are.
The setting is a rundown amusement park in which you start off as a little boy named Timmy. Through the course of the game you can posses various characters and try and figure out exactly what is going on.
One of the nice features of the game is that at the lower end of the screen, you can read the current character's thoughts. So for Timmy, he mostly thinks about school and his siblings and how annoying they are, but when you encounter other characters or strange sights, then you have thoughts about it. It's important that you take note of your character's thoughts, as they tend to give you clues about what you are suppose to do.
The game features various artists and the music is varied. Both are excellent and my personal favorites are Kill a Commie and the Tree Woman Dance. I wish I could find the video. Very catchy tune and very tragic tale!
Anyways, it was a strange game to say the least. So, uh anyone remember this game by chance?
