I'm going to start this review off with a comic that I think sums up the male existential dilemma more succinctly than anything I've ever seen, and then link you to the author's explanation of the game. Then I'm going to say, hey! Don't read that stuff yet! Play the game first! Some fraction of you may have follow the links sequentially and are now feeling cheated. Hey, at least you aren't stuck in a dead-end relationship!

I think I want to be Paolo Pedercini when I grow up. Of course, he's younger than I am, so I guess that's not going to work.
He knocked off this game in a few days as an Experimental Gameplay Project entry. It is a more emotionally compelling -- chilling, rather -- experience than the much-touted Passage -- at least for me. Passage is an evocation of the tritest idea of romantic love. every day the same dream is an evocation of the alienation of modern suburban life.
SiSSYFiGHT 2000 is, like, an intense war between a bunch of girls who are all out to ruin each other's popularity and self-esteem. The object is to physically attack and majorly dis your enemies until they are totally mortified beyond belief. You'll never come out on top without making the right friends, so be careful who you're nice to. Because in the end, only the shrewdest will survive with their social status intact!
