I wrote out a love letter to Lorelei and the Laser Eyes back in January. And it’s not quite as long as I remember it being, so rather than try to come up with fresh words about it, I will just point to that link at the top of the paragraph and say “read that, won’t you?”
And if you don’t read it, well… there’s not much I can do about that.
At the end of the day, I think it says a lot about Lorelei and the Laser Eyes that I wish I could scrub my memory so that I could play it fresh all over again. This is, unfortunately the kind of game you can only properly experience once, as you solve the puzzles and try to piece together the story. It was a masterclass in both adventure and puzzle games, and I still find myself thinking about it sometimes as I’m drifting off to sleep. Or daydreaming at my desk. Or cooking. Or doing pretty much anything. This game left a mark on me, is what I’m saying.
