![]() Or perhaps you want to tell Johnny Cash how desperately you miss him. If you've spotted that one of the upcoming conversations is with a dearly departed friend, you're probably going to want the unbound praise and sentiment of Love 13. If you know you haven't had a chat with Robert Oppenheimer yet and feel you want to say something damning but not excessively vicious to him, perhaps you'd elect to hang on to Hate 4. As you gently drop and bounce from platform to platform, you pick up floating bubbles marked 'Love 13' or 'Hate 4' as you travel across simply-structured but abstractly-backgrounded platform worlds, and at the end of it you can choose to keep just one of them. The love and hate-related dialogue options are one-shot. I certainly did at first, and I am capable to at least some degree of this human thing you call 'love.' A shallow, short platforming aspect offers no entertainment in itself - it's just a loose structure to progress from saying judgemental, fond or inappropriate things to the silhouettes of famous figures to agonising over the best thing to say to the unnamed shade of your parents, your younger self, a lost friend or a deceased relative. Actually, they'll probably just feel annoyed by the alternately pseudy and pat dialogue options. Those rare souls somehow untouched or untroubled by loss, or by unhappy upbringings, or by regret at relationships left untended, will feel nothing.

To start with I sneered at its simultaneous archness and whimsy, the banality of a moral litmus test that challenged one to say something nice to Saddam Hussein or be awful to Frida Kahlo for no good reason. This is a discussion of the experience I had with it, not of its value proposition. And a few less famous ones too.Īt present it costs just $1, and will eventually rise to $4. This shares a certain cut-up appearance and a maudlin tone (well, depending on how you approach it), but it's a rudimentary platform game set to surrealistic, sometimes chaotic backgrounds, wherein you collect dialogue options then make decisions about how to treat assorted famous and infamous figures.
