Dys4ia- interesting short flash game

I won't say what the game is about (some of you might be able to guess by the title) but I thought it was an interesting example of both how interactivity can be used to draw the player into experiencing something they wouldn't normally and how atmosphere can be created with very simple audio-visual effects.

The PA Report also did an article [http://penny-arcade.com/report/editorial-article/dys4ia-tackles-gender-politics-sense-of-self-and-personal-growth...-on-newginteresting] on the game.

I normally think of Newgrounds as a hive of follow-the-leader mediocrity and juvenile stupidity, but every so often something interesting pops up.

I thought that was very clever and well-done - thanks for linking it!

I agree, it's nice, when that does happen.

I played that game only a few minutes ago. It was simple and effective, a rather neat experience that I think could be explored further. Imagine a compliation of mini-games put to that effect? Like a short series of ghost stories, it's something work thinking about (I hope).

I also wish the author of the game the very best.
