Eventually I'll come up with something to write here, but for now we've got a train to catch, except we have no money, no ticket, and no idea.

OFF-PEAK

One way ticket to the blues

Obcy

The end of Off-Peak leads us to the Norwood Suite, which is a semi-interactive musical album/adventure game coded by professional musicians from Brooklyn, NY.

THE NORWOOD SUITE

Courtney Love

The Head Inside The Skull

A Little Prick

Every Body in the Pool

Room 308

I had the gameplay recorded in case people had voted for the mines a third time.

The music is the one thing they can call their own. The game is like an artsy album wrapper made out of discarded packaging.

I am kind of intrigued by the idea of making a video game out of music from a concept album.

I didn't play through Tres Lunas, I only briefly showed off its charms. The sequel was nuts.

This game just loves being weird and pretentious to the point where it forgets to have a point. So to match that I rolled a d8 and got options #3 and #8.

There's no #3, it was a dud.
