April 2025
This game means quite a lot for me, I played through this game during a very difficult time. I felt so drawn to the ELIZA psychotherapist background, the melancholic atmosphere, and to Evelyn herself and her story. The concept of the personal struggle, juxtaposed with the interactions you have with the characters throughout the game, while a fair share of sad moments mind you, was very heartwarming and left me at the end looking back at not only a nice story I could relate to in some way, but also my feeling of personal wonder towards the original ELIZA script from the 60s. I love this part of computer history, and I'm really glad I was able to enjoy a sweet story based off it. I feel I'm admittedly biased because of the relevance I felt it had to my own life when I played it, but I will always hold this neat little story close. I'm thankful this game was created, everyone did an amazing job making it :)

It is still so weird that Zachtronics made this. If I played this when it released I probably would've thought it far fetched to see people latch on to an "AI" chatbot that just reflects what you tell it back in the form of a question. But playing it today in a world where somehow people very much do that, Eliza manages to feel much more of this moment than I expected. Also, play the Kabufuda Solitaire minigame. It's good!!

This game asks soul-wrenching questions about technology and how it can help deal with pain in the world. This sounds generic on paper, but it's hard to get across how mature and thought-provoking the approach it takes is. Make sure to approach this story with as much of an open mind as possible.

Most choices don't matter (except the last one deciding the ending). This story gives you a lot to think about, even more these days were AI like ChatGPT, Bard, Llama, Gemini and other are getting more and more traction. Clearly a good read...

I think this game was definitely prescient for the time it was created. It really hits a lot of good points about AI, technology, and has great characters. Having worked in a tech company, I feel the vibes of a lot of it are spot on. I think it's worth playing, so I would recommend it, but I think for me there's a lot of negatives: there's almost no actual variations to choose and a lot of times you have to click when there's only one option, so I didn't feel a lot of agency, and the ending is really based just on a final choice in the game. For me, as a VN lover, this made it feel a lot less like anything I did actually mattered. I still enjoyed the game due to the interesting characters and writing and would suggest it for most people who like VNs.
