Trailer to this tiny game uses a quote from PC Gamer: “Tells a better story in 13 minutes than most games do in 13 hours.” And yeah, this game will take about 10-13 minutes to complete total. It’s a very short story, with broken chronology of events, weird style, emulation of the movies from the 60s (especially the spy and caper movies) and it uses the old Quake 2 engine. It’s a continuation of the Citizen Abel project that already saw a release of a similar in style and background, yet completely free, title called Gravity Bone.
As with Dear Esther, or a better comparison here would be The Graveyard or Fatale, only the customer can decide if they want to pay for this kind of experience. Talking about titles like this is actually quite difficult, so I’d rather say that – I really liked Thirty Flights of Loving, yet I don’t feel like it had any lasting impression on me. Though, the soundtrack here is really good.
