Background Story -------------------------------------------------

It’s 1972. Love is free. Flipflops, English leather and bandanas are the height of fashion. Meanwhile the Cold War is more than lukewarm and a real one is going on overseas. Movements are happening. Environmentalists, the female liberties movement, and on the dance floors an entirely different kind of movement is overtaking the underground clubs. The winds of change are certainly blowing over the country.

Somewhere in the big city, in a tall, faceless government building someone left a window open. All the winds of change are doing here is blowing leaves all over Joe’s newly-swept floor. He’s been there for two years now. Working a dead-end attendant job making sure the building is as spotless as the suits walking the halls. It’s been like this for years, going from one soul-devouring job to the next.

Our protagonist is Joe in more than just name. He is quite literally Joe Average. Average height, average weight, average IQ. In fact, the only thing remotely remarkable about him is exactly how much he conforms to the median of the hypothetical everyman, and up until this point, Joe’s life hasn't exactly been biography material.

This is all about to change...

Ratings and reviews

The free portion was good. A decent hook to plonk down $5.00 to see where it goes. This is not so much a game as it is interactive fiction. The game elemements are much like Zork (which just dated me). A little thinking outside the box is required. The storyline is well played, up until the final chapter. I felt it ended too abruptly with no transition. Dude goes from being a broomstick pilot, to timewalking badass, then becomes a cubicle fobbit? Are you kidding me? Bad ending.

Fantastic story. The puzzles never got too complex and were largely intuitive. I found myself wishing that the game kept going, but the length it's currently at is perfect for the story. Letting the player play the first section for free before charging $5 for the ending is a good move; anyone playing will know by then if they want to put the money down. Only one odd glitch: anytime a notification sound played, all the game's audio shut off. Only turned back on when closing & reopening the game.

An easy to maneuver point-and-click that's fun and looks aesthetically gorgeous to be 6 years out from its initial release. Character dialogue provided enough clues for me to progress without consulting a walkthrough. Liked the storyline but love, love, loved the back-and-forth time-travelling aspect. Played both parts. Wish there was more to this story or more to come from the same dev! Don't mind paying for quality.
