Title
The desert in your mind
Shade is a surrealistic visual novel, in which the protagonist is preparing his bags for a journey, but things quickly become weird and strange. Its extremely well written, and being surrealistic its obviously weird. After some thought and digging around i could understand a bit more of what its all about, that said i still found it a bit frustrating to play. Since there are no clear objectives to attend to, you sometimes dont feel you are working towards the right directions. The puzzles itself are pretty straightforward, its just more the way that they present themselves that confused me a lot when playing this title. Im not quite feeling the classic status of this one.
