Doesn't even feel like a conversation – One Button Travel Review

Welcome to One Button Travel, where the conversation's not believable and your "choices" don't matter. What seemed Ike a promising interactive fiction has turned out feel inane and off putting. The game starts off strong and interesting; you press a button and very quickly learn of consequences beyond your control. What I didn't expect was to find that everything was beyond my control. From what I can tell, you can choose whatever dialogue options you want. It won't effect the story, which is truly disappointing. The other disappointing bit is that the writing makes it really difficult to feel like I'm actually speaking with a person, unless this is some dystopian future where nobody uses contractions anymore. The protagonist frequently says things like "I'm crawling under the bed now. It's quite dusty under here." and "I will flush it down the toilet!" Basically: imagine all the ways that a person wouldn't speak; that's how the protagonist DOES speak. This game has potential, but the weird style and lack of choice really holds it back.
