playing through this game made me feel a strange synchronicity across spatial and even fictional lines. gollum, one of literature's greatest wretches, forced to toil as a slave in mordor and eat little worms, the devs at daedalic, a company known mainly for point and click adventure games, forced to work on a game that they almost certainly knew they weren't up to the task of, and me, a dumbass, forced to play bad game because born with shitty brain.
