    Interesting experiment that wraps a tech-noir short story/text adventure in an elegant, meaningful and modern wrapping. It's short, and has its flaws, but the presentation is great, and worth your time.

    Subsurface Circular is a good game, and one that’s worth experiencing. It’s well-written, well-paced, and engaging without being frustrating. It’s a small indie project whose ambition stays within its reach. But it’s a game that easily could be far more memorable. Fortunately, Bithell has also created a structure that could be refined and repurposed for new games. I’m looking forward to whatever comes next.

    Good graphics, nice music but the dialogue is not even remotely interesting.

The few riddles/puzzles don't really feel like they belong and are just busy work. If you like good sc-fi it's worth a try though. 13/13 achievements can be had in 2.5 hours.… Full Review »

The interactive dialogues prove interesting and insightful, but could probably be more complex and varied. These 'dialogue puzzles' also culminate into a final chapter of the story that I feel is approached and concluded a bit too bluntly and simplistically.
