I was just about 18 when this came out. I remember how people talked about it, about it being this landmark moment for expressiveness in video games. The passage of time since this game makes a lot of that discussion look like a slowly dressing clown, bereft of enthusiasm. The despair arises from how little it took to make people in 2007 Question Everything They Thought They Knew About Video Games. The Joke, that all that thought and energy was invested into the dude what made The Castle Doctrine about a decade later.
