Epanalepsis is a narrative-focused point and click adventure game that tells a story about those connections across sixty years and beyond that pays equal homage to New Wave science fiction, cyberpunk dystopian stories, and the art cinema of the early 1990s. Play as three characters in three radically different time periods. Experience an authentically recreated 1990s, a consumerist 2010s, and a cyberpunk 2030s. Hand-crafted visuals wrung from the cramping hands of a very committed developer. Narrative-focused adventure gaming without the stress and trauma of puzzles or inventory management.

I feel cheated

I am not sure what I expected, but this is not satisfying. Apart from a nice soundtrack and some credible comments by the first character, the game has nothing to offer me. The graphics are very crude, puzzles are non-existent and the abruptly ending plot is nothing but confusing red herring. When reading about and deciding to buy Epanalepsis, I got the impression it would be heavily focused on narrative. The first chapter did initially feature quite a few observations from the protagonist that led me to believe an interesting story was about to build up. Unfortunately, it gradually deteriorated and eventually fell flat. I believe this was an ambitious project that either ran out of commitment, resources or both.
