"You could say that we are good negative examples of life."

Best played on a clunky original PS2, with a used copy, someone else's scribbles decorating the manual.

Chulip has an irresistible lassitude. You move into a shabby town, dig through garbage cans, and wait for the train while the music goes doo-ba-bop.

Design-wise, it's the most opaque game I've ever played. Conceptually, it's fantastic. It addresses themes like poverty and resilience with whimsy, imagining a world where the next generation can be healed by a kiss.
