Vinylgame September 27, 2008 - by Ian Bogost Vinylgame is another new title from Molleindustria, this one an advergame for a European PVC industry association. The game was commissioned to explain the organization's 10 year commitment to sustainability. The game is apparently more directed at industry insiders than the general public, and players may find it a bit tough to follow without that knowledge. It's a sim game of sorts, although the dynamics feel very dampened compared to other Molleindustria titles; the game might be more of an infographic than a simulation. Of course, it features Molleindustria's characteristic visual style. Comment from Ed on September 27, 2008
I'd agree that it has more of the infographic about it - not much in the way of the complexity of these processes imparted through gameplay. Nice look, though. POST A COMMENT
