Amber Coal is obviously a complete lunatic, sadly, that’s absolutely nothing special at all. With the Internet being a giant echo chamber of idiocy, lunatics and maniacs have an awesome time on it. I mean, who’s going to notice yet another mad hatter in an ocean of silly hats.
It’s neither unusual or peculiar.
And doesn’t actually matter, Lunatics often produced some brilliant stuff, the border between genius and madness is pretty often shattered, so no worries!
Let’s just barrel into whatever games Amber has managed to vomit forth upon us all.
A Game of Cat and Mouse for example, isn’t a game, but is absolutely performance art, interactive performance art, but not a game, it sadly lacks an active objective for the player to actually do, it’s message about entropy isn’t really anything spectacular, if I needed a remind about the terminal heat death of the universe, I’d go watch Nicki Minaj videos.
And burn out my own optical nerves, just to manage the pain you see.
Still, should probably try another one of the creatures deranged games:
UFOHNO, yeah.
Yes, we get it, you’re trying to tell us something. But the message “Not everything is what you see” is so old, that I’ve encountered them reading my way through roman graffiti on the walls of Pompeii, it’s old news sweetie, you’re not suprising anyone.
So what if I use a mind control ray to force owls to land on the ground, and then be devoured by violently agreesive rabbits?
Well done, I get the message, it’s all about control and doing crazy shit, well done, now go play Bioshock instead, it tells pretty much the same message, just wrapped in a really good game.
Or play Spec Ops: The Line, which messes around with halucinations to get the same effect, while also being incredibly good.
Or I could look at shitty pixel games with simple messages, choices, choices, so many choices.
Fortunately, they belong to me, not to you.
