He tries different things and settle at some point. The first few pages contains some exposition quickly forgotten by the author. Only the general theme and vibe are important.<br />- the author studied architecture. The environment is his main focus.<br />- the story is very dry. The main character is not interesting. He is a bit like an unstoppable witness.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927610094394810846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973193492803191556.post-69038047636536228302021-08-13T21:53:37.810-07:002021-08-13T21:53:37.810-07:00Funny you mention it: one of the players, Brendan,...Funny you mention it: one of the players, Brendan, also brought it up as we were getting to the tail end of playing. He suggested it as a source of inspiration when thinking about the game.

Almost no dialog, minimalist plotline and awesome art.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927610094394810846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973193492803191556.post-68655522524110512322021-08-11T18:38:11.975-07:002021-08-11T18:38:11.975-07:00

It’s easier to quickly see what’s around a particular area as well, which I thinks helps with helping you understand the larger space. But, a few people I have spoke to bounced off the module because it’s too terse! A double edged sword, perhaps.Ramanan Sivaranjanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13069241064657426648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973193492803191556.post-84247026383540971572021-08-11T14:44:38.011-07:002021-08-11T14:44:38.011-07:00I'm midway through reading Gradient Descent an...I'm midway through reading Gradient Descent and it's nowhere near as intimidating as I thought it might be, which I think is down to good organisation/layout and the terse room descriptions.Tom Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00512219290892896310noreply@blogger.com
