When You Enter Video Game Town

We are all used to the way new adventures, new places, and new environments are introduced in video games. Everything is a puzzle to be unlocked, everyone has information you might need to tuck away for later, and every once in a great while, you might find that something you thought was important to remember turned out to be just a distraction. It's like the exposition part of a movie, where we meet all the characters, but we don't know who will end up being important to the unfolding plot (and that's why I have to go back and "pay more attention" to the beginning sometimes). It's all a setup! Alasdair Beckett-King recreates this eerie feeling of being the stranger in a strange world by playing all the parts, as one does. The kicker is that you don't know what role you play in this drama. That's all I'm going to say about this one.
