-An [[:IFComp 2021]] game. [[https://ifdb.org/viewgame?id=hwhrl3u783ccxf24|IFDB]]. Hmm... kind of neat to start in a low-res simulation and discover other, higher-res universes, but also very "flatland" or "The Matrix." I don't particularly care for the tone set by the dialect, and the characters while mysterious weren't particularly memorable. The deepdream illustrations were a neat touch for this sort of thing though, and I'll grant that the whole thing was reasonably polished. I'll give "setting" and "plot" points for the overall aesthetic and the okay sense of story beats with escalating stakes.+An [[IFComp]] 2021 game.

 Overall though, my experience of Universal Hologram was just… fine. Perhaps less than the sum of its parts, several neat bits that didn’t quite cohere into a great experience, but those bits were themselves memorable. Thanks Kit! Overall though, my experience of Universal Hologram was just… fine.
