clyde Posted February 2, 2015 I just started playing Beeswing this morning. I'm not very far in, but I'm surprised by how valuable this game has already become for me. I've read reviews like this one that talk about how much Beeswing brings to mind a particular place, and I've read reviews like this one about how sophmoric the dialogue is. I think both critcisms are accurate. Jack King-Spooner fills a sketchbook with drawings of places in his hometown and writes down what he remembers about conversations he has had with people there. It feels incredibly voyeuristic. I would never feel comfortable revealing all this stuff about people I've met and how I summarize them, but I sure do enjoy playing through a game where someone else has done it. The best comparison I can make to Beeswing is Daguerreotypes by Agnes Varda. Agnes Varda is much more successful at removing herself from how the folks are depicted (though it's still mostly her perspective), but I've never seen such an explicitly autobiographical game before. More of this please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
