noescape

Digital Culture and its Discontents

A place where video games get picked apart to examine the gooey Ideology inside


It’s not that I was expecting something bigger from Somerville, it’s more like I was expecting something more refined and kinetic. It’s a messy game technically and I would say it doesn’t quite pack the punch - yet? - that Inside did. Jumpship is not Playdead, but Somerville is not a point of departure from Inside or Limbo.



The tagline needs work. HOWEVER! No Escape, the thing I do when I'm not working, is looking to raise money to cover its operating costs in 2023. I won't weigh y'all down with the details here, but hey there's a gofundme link if you feel like taking a look at that. This is not an emergency fundraiser, it's just a way to help No Escape be more futureproofed since idk what 2023 is going to look like, politically, economically or personally. Thanks for reading!
