PostCurious: Emerald Echoes

I honestly cannot fault this game, it is exactly what you could ever want from a tabletop puzzle game. Well, assuming what you want is a beautifully crafted, thoughtful narrative adventure packed with satisfying puzzles, that is. In films (and art in general) we often talk about the power of a film coming along the completely changing your brain chemistry and for me, this is maybe that game for me? After reading the final words I flopped down onto the sofa and had a little cry. Sure, the story moved me, but also I was moved by how incredibly cool it is that games like this are being made – games that tell important stories, games that absolutely nail the puzzles, and games that look gorgeous doing it. I wanted to play it all over again, but this is a travelling copy and so I had to pack it up and ship it on to the next lucky player.
