Buzz. "1000xRESIST nails what it's going for—a blend of "big idea" sci-fi and coming-of-age story." - PC Gamer "At its heights, it achieves the cerebral complexity I expect from the likes of Hideo Kojima or Yoko Taro..." - PC GamesN "It’s a lucid dream, hand crafted for you. It’s extraordinary. It’s something really very special. In a world plagued by extruded content emanating vacuously from every screen, we should be so lucky." - Giant Bomb. About the Game.

Worth every hour
If you’re hesitant because you assume this is an “art game”, of the surreal type you’ll finish having no clue what was going on, or what the developers meant, this is a message for you. 1000xRESIST is painfully clear about every moment it shows you, but it rearranges them in time – for maximal gut-punching efficiency. It does start in the absolute middle of things, so you can get a bit lost at times; but how much of what it shows you there is foreshadowing? All of it. The story is ordered in a way that gives clarity and weight to every moment, though often retroactively. You can always go back to the start to see what you missed, but remember, nostalgia can be a dangerous thing. Hekki grace.

You could consider the story of 1000xResist as a meditation on blame
You could consider the story of 1000xResist as a meditation on blame. Who's at fault for the way your parents act? As a work of art, it's peerless. As a game, it's a walking simulator without any form of mechanical "difficulty". One of the only negative reviews on the entire platform mentions how there are achievements for discovering rooms that have no built purpose to them. There's a part in Mark Twain's *A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court* that includes a 2,000 word digression on how higher wages compared with a higher cost of living leaves you with less money than someone making lower wages who has no overhead. Mark Twain didn't cut that, even though it served no purpose to the story he was telling. What I'm angling at is that the "unnecessary" fluff in 1000xResist is concomitant with an engrossing narrative. There would be a distinguishable loss if either was made more 'efficient'. If you're interested in a game that cuts out all the fat, I hear Minecraft is a good read. The medium of games is still the only way it's possible to tell this story. In the same way you couldn't render The Three Musketeers as a song, or Nessun Dorma as a painting, 1000xResist -cannot be in a different format-. It simply does too much visually to gouge out your eyes, and too much agentially to let someone else tell you how it happened. I just hope that you are lucky enough in your life to be profoundly moved by it.
