Subsurface Circular is a landmark moment in interactive storytelling. The elegance of its escalation is simply unmatched, as it tells a story that makes you feel like you’re in completely over your head, and yet still perfectly believable. The characters you meet along the way all feel unique with their own personality, which makes interacting with them a test of wit and cunning as you use the conversational mechanics to their full effect. There’s nothing quite else quite like Subsurface Circular, and when that uniqueness is combined with the phenomenal narrative at hand, you have all the ingredients for a simply unforgettable and very special journey aboard the subway.

Subsurface Circular is something like a visual novel or point-and-click adventure game, but I found it far more engrossing than other games I've played in those genres. It combines an intriguing story with an unfolding mystery, and excels at keeping the player engaged. I can't say much more without spoiling the story; I strongly encourage you to go into it blind, as this is the best way to experience it. You can complete it in a single session of less than two hours, but for $6 it's well worth your time and money. Highly recommended.
