The Cave Of Morpheus

By Mark Silcox

Here's an odd little game that the end result is I don't think I actually enjoyed it but I kept playing it due to other reviews telling me how short this game was. Indeed it was short…which makes me question why the game was split into two separate game files. That's right you get a certain point in the game and are told that part 1 is over, go load up part 2. I'm assuming this is due to the change the narrative position and while only a minor annoyance to the player it is after all an annoyance. Putting that aside the writing is only ok, I just never felt immersed in this world but kept holding out that I might get there. This is a minimalists games without a doubt, and while that can be intriguing for some I found it lacking in substance as a result. It certainly will not be a major endeavour to run through this game so I'd say if you are curious don't hesitate to give it a go, just don't be expecting a world stopping story.
