Lifeline might have kicked off a whole new era of interactive fiction, it seems. Interactive novel One Button Travel has also borrowed a technique from 3 Minute Games. Just as Lifeline played out in real-time, so too does One Button Travel. When your mysterious correspondent tells you it's going to take them a few hours to do something, it really does take that long. It's an effective technique, using that sense of reality to ratchet up both the tension of the story and your emotional investment.
It takes more than a clever gameplay technique to make a game, though, and luckily One Button Travel comes through. The 55,000-word adventure takes you time travelling into the future (unicorns!), and it's sassy, sarcastic, sweet and fun. It's also beautifully designed, with lovely ambient music and, as you'd expect from the developer of Rules, a clean and visually pleasing experience.
