So, while there isn't an actual story per se, the depth of experience bears witness to a more transcendental, subjective tale. Not only the mechanics of it, but also the natural interactions of dirt, tree roots, and so on. As you explore underneath the fountain, you start to see all the moving pieces and natural interactions that make the fountain what it is. For example, one of the puzzles begins with an idyllic fountain. It goes into great detail, both visually and audibly, allowing the player a glimpse at what could lie underneath seemingly mundane places and circumstances. The story in ISLANDS: Non-Places isn't really a story told, but rather a sensibility conveyed. So, without further ado, let's get to the meat of this game review. After playing through it, my first reaction was, "what did I just witness?" Upon further reflection however, I realized that ISLANDS: Non-Places carried an almost intricate and yet surprisingly delicate sense of depth. Initially, my thoughts were that the game looked really cool and was quite bizarre. I saw ISLANDS: Non-Places on Steam yesterday, and seeing as how I'm always in the market for a new gaming experience, I thought I would go ahead and grab it, see what it had to offer.
