    The Prisoning: Fletcher's Quest is exactly as it presents itself. It wants to be more, but I wish it didn't think it had to be. It's regular retro platforming, with a good map, checkpoints, forgettable characters, and cool bosses. It's something to do. You'll probably play it twice, but that's twice the something to do.

    The Prisoning: Fletcher’s Quest is a bizarre and humorous game that traps you inside the subconscious of a burnt-out game developer. It is very challenging and rewarding at the same time.
