Ethics and isolation and empathy, and Men In Tech. The game itself is about everything to do with that. You read the script it generates, and nothing more. The proxies sit and listen, while clients say whatever they have to say, and the system takes measurements of things like heart rate, vocal stress and such, before analysing keywords used and delivering a reply. And I absolutely love it.Įliza is a visual novel about Evelyn, a woman starting work as a 'proxy' for the eponymous service. That hulking white menace is evil incarnate. But those ungainly birds of years gone by have nothing on the goose from Untitled Goose Game. They were, and are, obnoxious, belligerent birds (except barnacle geese, beautiful creatures about which I will not have a bad word said), and even now I still feel a small shudder in my soul whenever I catch sight of one. Those cackling honks would also be the first sounds I'd hear waking up in the morning, too, the conversation no doubt still flowing about their daring escapades playing chicken against cyclists, or snapping at drunks in the night. As I'd fall asleep at night I'd hear them honking away outside, having a right old laugh with the resident ducks and swans. Admittedly, it's a rather odd question to have been mulling over for so many years, but for my whole time at university I lived in extreme proximity to them, and it had an impact. What's the deal with geese? It's a question I've been asking myself for the better part of a decade.
