Photopia
by Will
Look, just do this, okay? I’m asking you to play what essentially is an interactive story. It’s called a text adventure, but that’s a terrible name. Anyway, it doesn’t matter, just please do this. It’s an interactive story called “Photopia.” You play characters in the story and have to interact with the other characters, but it’s very simple and there are instructions. The whole experience will take about 20 minutes, tops. The story is beautiful and fun and almost brought me to tears and I recommend it wholeheartedly and I really won’t take no for an answer. Porter Mason, I’m looking at you.
You can play it here.
So play it. Then come talk about it with me. That’s all. Don’t make faces! You will like it. Forget EASY media! You can watch movies anytime. Think of it as a really cool pizza place that you have to drive around a bit to get to. It’s a pain but it’s worth it. All good things take trouble. I co-hosted Topsham Pantsuit and instead of banter or even warmed-over jokes I just kept talking about this game. I’ve probably destroyed my nascent career and the least you could do is just play this stupid game.

OK, nerd, I’ll give it a try… wait, I have to download TWO things!??!?! The deal is off!!!!
OK, yeah, this is fascinating.
What a touching story! Adventure games are a frustrating medium though.
Thank you for trying it Porter!
Done! you sold me.
Is this available on my iPhone?
It is.
did it, and it IS pleasant, just have to rein in my overtly wordy commands.
Thanks. East.
