If you have to tell what your story is about, you're probably not telling it very well. Game claims to be about about Ireland's history and culture but focuses on just a selective few modern parts. Story is 'told' through a series of intentionally blurred scenes where controls have been made to behave as though you are swimming in syrup. You have to walk towards a light cone and when you reach it, a new scene starts. This is artsy in the 'if we make the photo black and white and out of focus, it is art' kind of way. Graphics look like someone who just learned about 3D graphics (yay light!), there are texture mistakes like puddles on a 30 degree slope, there are invisible walls that can mess you up, it is full of high school like symbolism, and the scripted parts worked directly against an immersive experience. Music is very monotonous but that is kinda OK. All in all I was bored and just wanted it to be over, but at least it's free - oh wait, it's not (maybe it should be).

Well, if you ever wanted to know what it was like to be a ghost drifting through some of the history of Ireland, then this is the perfect simulator for you. It's a very surreal, strange experience. I do wonder what experiencing the original art instillation was like. I think "abstract" is, indeed, a fair word to describe this experience. Do I recommend it? Well, it's certainly not for everyone. If you are someone who is really into immersive art or want to take a [i]trip[/i] through an interpretation of Ireland's history, then you may well enjoy this curious, meditative experience.
