Saw this on indiegames.com. I felt involved while playing it. I encourage you ilxors to play it at least until you understand the play mechanic. The game is short (it's a student game), and I think it could have benefited from more levels and level types and permutations of its basic building blocks, but then that might also have compromised the overall experience. You may not feel the same about it, but it was affecting in spite of its cyberpunk cheese, even if I didn't get the wind knocked out of me.

amazing

Oh, hey Mordy, I've been playing Echo Bazaar for a little while. The thing that annoys me most is the stuff that requires co-op play, so if you fancy being a buddy on there I'd be grateful.

For sure -- how do we friend up on Echo Bazaar? My ILX name is the same as my EB name.

I use my twitter account. Would rather not post it up here, so might not find you until after this weekend as I'm currently away from my normal computer.

Sent u a message.

erg. when are people gonna stop doing this required facebook/twitter connect junk

after fb/twitter stop being so popular i guess

by then tho you'll have to connect to your neurally implanted identity facetime-wall chip

synapse-poke!

i will stab you

that's how you poke in post-apocolyptic desert ranger wasteland facebook. post messages in gecko entrails

i think i'm bored of Echo Bazaar

more "adult" visual novels btw:

I read a review of Echo Bazaar that said that they managed to make the game overall incredibly interesting, but each individual play session incredibly boring. I think that's kind of right. I still like it, though.

i haven't bothered for a couple of days now and don't feel that inclined to carry on. it's well written but i think i don't really like this kind of "come back every day and click a couple of options and grind yr stats so you get new options to click" gameplay

I've been playing semi-obsessively for like a week and even as I'm aware of the boring mechanics I really want my dude to make a name for himself

I need Echo Bazaar friends, can I interact with you guys or would we have to be twitter-following each other?

idk I think we can be in each other's cliques w/o twitter but as far as I know cliques ain't do shit

omg, i played Sisters' Story and Runaway City when i was 15! + season of sakura i think. oh shit, and Ring Out! where is True Love tho? for sure the best eroge VN of the bunch!

i don't know why i'm so excited to excavate this incredibly awkward and embarrassing stage of my life...

cos we all miss being 15 no matter how awful it was at the time?

i see on the side of the page that the reason True Love isn't up there is bc they're finding it too complex to convert into javascript.

i think the save game system mightn't work too well which is a pain

my vote for biggest disappointment of 2011 in coint + plick was a pseudo-homage to all these late 90s erotica visual novels

"Date Ariane" is promising a visual novel sequel this year

coint + plink winner 2012 right there ^
