    A purely conversation based game with a cool aesthetic and good ending. 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.

    Subsurface Circular is a short dialogue-based game that I'd describe as philosophical sci-fi. It considers very interesting themes regarding the future of humanity and AI, and felt kinda like reading a decent short novel. The cool visual design made it a very pleasant experience too.

    Subsurface Circular is an exploration of our humanity… as presented by robots. It presents you with the opportunity to wrestle with what you value along with the questions of autonomy versus automation.

    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.

    A meaningful and memorable text-adventure. [Issue#192, p.84]
