And I mean every word of it.

It's very clearly an homage to Twin Peaks, in all the ways that matter. And I adore the main character's utter amazement at the completely mundane, in the same way Dale Cooper did.

I realize a lot of people think this ironically, but I believe it unironically. Seriously, the writing is absolutely genius and its craziness.

One of the most interesting things about it is that it has a certain juvenile quality that is simultaneously impossible to fake but also unlikely to be not deliberate. It's actually an amazing accomplishment.

I haven't played the switch game, but to me the most fascinating thing about this game is that it's clearly not like The Room, in which it's just a singularly bad film from a bad director. There is a clear deliberate nature to the madness of this game, almost like it's in on the joke but not quite.

Awesome game that was ruined with game-halting glitches. I didn't get to experience most of it because the game would just constantly freeze up on me at a certain point.

The creator of the game swears he's never seen Twin Peaks lol.

Glad you're enjoying it though. It's crazy unique experience in how bad yet entertaining it is. You don't really get that with video games.

I loved it and hated it. I would always try to end a session immediately after one of the ridiculous gun play maze parts. If they were cut entirely, I would have finished it. Im bummed out about it.

I like to think Zack actually has no idea about being an fbi agent and now he has to wing the hell out of it nor has any recollection of the last decade or so ....

Have you gotten around to Alan Wake yet? Your mention of paying homage to Twin Peaks reminded me of that game and all the references and similarities.

he has though. he's made bunches of tweets and stuff about Twin Peaks. if he's ever tried to say that he hasn't seen it, then likely he was just being coy or tongue-in-cheek.
That quote was from YEARS ago, so I'm not sure if it was before or after those tweets, but it being SWERY I'm sure it was tongue-in-cheek to begin with.

The director of Link's Awakening stated that Twin Peaks was at least as popular in Japan as it was in America, if not more so, and inspired a mini-renaissance in storytelling there.
