I can’t claim to be a huge fan of the theme this time. Minimalism seems too broad and very much something that people implement every LD.<\/p>\n

I was at first going to be paying a tribute to some minimalist writer (I read a Raymond Carver short on the first morning of the compo) but \u00a0I had planned on a point and click adventure since before the compo so I ended up with an homage to fine minimalist cinema instead with Stalker<\/a> – referencing the Soviet Sci-Fi classic with the same name. If you haven’t seen the movie, make sure to do so. It’s one of the all time greats.<\/p>\n

After rating a grand total of 100 games, I found very few takes on the theme Minimalism that I felt were great. But here comes a rundown of them:<\/p>\n
