Getting stuck causes players to explore the world.
Dying causes players to think about what they're doing.
An "impossible" situation causes players to learn how the game works and eventually achieve the impossible.
We need to be able to design *some* games around these fundamental ideas.

Yes, I also thought folks were overreacting until I found out it was a human dude
I read some of the stuff this morning but somehow missed that the dope in this game looks like this. I figured it was just some flying drone robot thing. Holy crap, dude!

To celebrate the milestone, I've updated the site for the first time in ages with tons of new content. Check it out! wiw.org/~jess/roger.html

Seance at Blake Manor goes so fucking hard, right from the get-go. I’m ready to be pissed that it’s not on every GOTY list.
