There were times when I was enjoying the mix of puzzles and Uplink-style clicking to make a computer do something magical when I wished that I were playing as a regular, not-involved-in-a-paranoid-conspiracy Operator, just solving crimes. But this isn't a multi-season workplace drama, it's an 86-minute thriller of a game. A compact screenlife visual novel.

It's great for fans of tabletop 'escape room in a box' type games. (It reminds me of Detective Society in particular.) I wish it had a level select option after beating the game once, because replaying the intro section isn't as much fun as some of the later chapters.

I had a little bit of trouble nailing down the character the story wanted me to play. Am I a super-professional CTU agent? That's the tack I started on, dodging obvious bait dialogue options to the contrary, but over time I began to wonder if I wasn't in fact an incompetent boob who had failed their way up to the position. As is often the case in life, I think TANNER is meant to be somewhere in the middle.

Still great after all these years. So great, I'd say it was great even if it wasn't for an achievement.

Backed on kickstarter because it sounded cool, but it's just about unplayable. Nominating for 'game that makes me want to cry' award.

Honestly, I'm not that mad, I just need to review something for a badge. But, I do consider it to have been money attached to a balloon that some little girl down on street level is crying super loudly about having lost.
