pa target=”_blank” href=”http://sleepisdeath.net/”iSleep is Death/i/a is either going to be one of the coolest things I’ve ever played, or it’s going to reflect my own boringness in such a way that I’ll never be able to do anything remotely interesting with it./p
pDescribed as “a storytelling game for two players,” Jason Rohrer’s iSleep is Death/i will likely adhere to his a target=”_blank” href=”http://manoamondo.com/2010/02/08/jason-rohrers-new-gamist-manifesto/”New Gamist Manifesto/a — which, if you’re too lazy to click the link, means it’ll have less to do with scripted narrative, AI-driven characters and a definite endpoint and more to do with endless discovery and player-on-player interaction./p
pIn lieu of a video trailer, the iSleep is Death/i site has a surprisingly interesting a target=”_blank” href=”http://sleepisdeath.net/slideShow/”slide show/preview thing/a created entirely in the game engine. It’s incredibly interesting stuff, but, again, I worry I’m either too dumb to understand the interface, or too boring to create really interesting stories./p
pYou can pre-order the game for $9 and get it a week early, or wait until April 16th and pay $14 for it. Since the game is two-player ionly/i, your $9 entry fee gets you itwo/i copies of the game./p
