What players say

Players describe Strangeland as a surreal point-and-click adventure exploring trauma and depression through a carnival of disturbing imagery. Reviews note the puzzles range from fair to obtuse, though a phone hint system helps, and opinions split on the story's ambiguity, some find it profound, others pretentious.
