Quite simply, like all psychobabble, it is rife with things contrary and confusing ... which I did not care for. There are unnerving background noises. The music is General MIDI but hauntings well-written, and it serves the purpose of forwarding the ominous atmosphere. Some of the concentration camp theme was recently reused and adapted by its author to score the recent film "Apt Pupil," also hauntings about an ex-Nazi. Ellison thoughtfully plays the computer AM himself, spitting vitriol at the whole hauntings human race with vigor (actually it's hammy and over the top, but he sounds like he's having fun, and after all it is his party). This is not a happy place. It does not have a happy ending. This is the sort of game it is good to play to scare oneself, in the same way one would watch a scary movie. It would also appeal to Harlan Ellison fans, as it does well in retaining his gloomy vision of society.
