    If you enjoy interactive fiction and want to explore a dark story about the depths of Kentucky's wilderness, Buried should be just your thing.

    Buried is an atmospheric tale of science gone very badly wrong.

    But forget the play angle and accept that you’re basically reading an illustrated yarn you can opt to reread with different story forks, and Buried is diverting enough–a $2.99 short story that’s maybe pushing novella length if you circle back to see its alternative outcomes. Just know that, in the places where you might expect gameplay to be, it’s missing in action.

    It’s just a shame that Buried leaves some of its greatest potential, well, buried on the table.
