Customer Reviews

A perfect introduction to the Residents' present period4
Remember when the Residents balanced their absurdist lunacy with a heavy coating of dark humour and veiled menace? Well, somewhere down the line (perhaps around the time 'God in Three Persons' was released) their absurdism took a backseat to the dark humour and the once-implied menace grew into something wholly disturbing.
Residents have always been as much a multimedia group as a musical one, so it's only fitting that an interactive musical 'novel' of captures them at one of the most grotesque moments in their long history.
Taking place at a barely occupied theme park, you switch from character to character in order to solve a number of mysteries and explore just as many subplots in the constrictive time limit that lasts around thirty minutes. No, this is not a game you beat (or really a 'game' at all), but one that you play over and over again to find out just what the hell is going on. I won't ruin it for you by revealing the truly disturbing goings-on beneath it all, but I will say that, should you find a copy under 20 dollars, it's well worth the purchase.

HINT: The scene with the singing, dancing tree woman alone is worth the 20 bucks.
