The Moon Sliver

Game review

This is the kind of game that reminds us that there’s a lot left in the tank with the Dear Esther and Gone Home approach. The gameplay is minimally interactive, comprised primarily of traveling from place and place and reading text as it appears on-screen, with a door/key mechanic peppered in here and there for good measure. Its strength lies squarely in the story it tells, while the game’s atmosphere is leveraged to great effect to reinforce the narrative. And the payoff is awesome — the ending left me satisfied.
