About This Game

Creatures Such As We is a philosophical interactive romance novel by Lynnea Glasser, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based--without graphics or sound effects--and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Living on the moon is lonely, and stressful, and exhausting. Video games have always offered you an escape to a better life. The easy, happy life you wish you had. Which makes it so frustrating when the game you've been playing ends badly. But you have a chance to figure it out, because the next tourist group is the designers. You can debate with them about art, inspire them with the beauty of outer space, get closer to any one specific designer in particular, and finally find out how to get the ending you always wanted.

I chose to keep the ending I had, since I didn't in the game within the game. It wasn't a bad ending, though I would've liked more, I'm okay with what I got. It's a game that makes you think about things. And I think that's enough to recommend it on its own. But I also just like the story and the characters within it.

I found this game interesting, it captures a feeling of normalcy so well that pondering its message felt very natural. Is reaching a "good ending" worth it, even if it betrays the original art? My 'ending' felt lukewarm, but it felt *real*, and I was content to accept it- but still, the option existed to change it, to go back. What choice will you make?
