CompareThe endless, halcyon days of the summer of love are over, the travellers and minstrels, dreamers and drug dealers have gone. Now it's 198X, you wake up in a very bad situation. You were the "Sisters of the amniotic lens" and now it's time to face what you did all those years ago.

One-Sentence Summary: A highly experimental interactive social platform which is rough, disjointed, and poorly constructed, yet the community is shockingly honest and transcendent. Pros: + A unique interactive social experience + The community is very sincere + People's honesty will broaden your perspectives + Floating around in vector-like wireframe space is relaxing + The 8-bit TV advertisements are often...

At first this game was utterly confusing, I just didn't understand it. Now I know that this is not a game, this is a social "experiment". Try to look for bottles in outer space, and get a glimpse inside peoples head. You can leave messages for people, and you can also get messages back. PROS + Unique social "game" + Great music + Help real people out, or condemn them CONS - Confusing at first - Not really a...

Selfie: Sisters of the Amniotic Lens is certainly not a game for everyone and as I say this, I must warn you: it’s not really a game at all. The story certainly sparks on interest at what happened exactly and the multiplayer aspect where you read other people’s writing is also an original game mechanic but the lack of any real (fun) gameplay, the monotonous songs and the repetitive nature make Selfie a ‘game’ for...

If you're at all familiar with Rail Slave Games, you'll know that their releases have been divisive, at best. There is no hand holding, no giant yellow punctuation marks over characters' heads, or arrows pointing the correct direction in which to go. Just figuring out what to do is considered part of the gameplay itself. As a result of this seeming ambiguity, some people expound titles such as Uriel's Chasm as being...

Lots of people go into this game expecting... well, a game. That is a mistake, and the cause for most of the bad reviews. If you plan to buy this game, you have to realize that it is more of a "social experiment" than a video game. When you start the game, you are tasked with catching flies in a room, then in a place that looks like outer space. It may be frustrating, but once you finish this you have unlocked the...

Fly through wireframe space and wait 5 minutes to shoot at incredibly tiny red dots inside of large wireframe mannequins... Then fly 5 minutes again and shoot at another tiny red dot... And... Uh, there's some social media element that I couldn't find, apparently? I saw bottles floating around, but there were no messages. I was kind of looking forward to an artgame, but this was one of the worst gaming experiences of...

This game offers the players the ability to scream their trauma, struggles, pain, etc. into a virtual void and have others read about them. Players have the choice of condemning or freeing others, and can leave messages for them in response. If this sounds like an interesting experience for you, then I highly recommend this game. But, if you are expecting an exciting videogame where you can shoot enemies or romance...

Even in the vast sea of feverish electro-dreams that is the indie games market, Selfie is a vision that stands completely alone. One's first impression, however, may simply be that of a surreal interactive art gallery, featuring macabre 3D renderings and a sizable amount of tastefully outlandish teletext artwork. In the background, the uncanny music of "no wave" folk singer Jarboe plays (and her work is sweet, dark...

OK, I'll admit to not quite understanding this game. Rail Slave's aesthetic choices and vague narrative aren't always my thing personally, but I love the risks the dev takes and their willingness to honestly engage with topics I want to see so much more of in games and to do so with that rare combination of brains and heart. Whether or not I "like" it seems less important to me than the fact that it's absolutely...

I miss this game and wish the servers where still up. The aesthetics where absolutely fantastic, plus a teletext lover it also appealed to me. I also miss finding random bottles with messages people left out in space and even writing my own message to throw out into the darkness of space for someone random to find.
