It took me hours to beat that game, I often had to leave it running while I got on with other tasks, but I enjoyed it greatly, though I didn't have the appetite to play through the next universe.

The way it leads you in with a simple "Make paperclip" button and, through consistently surprising twists, leads you to the task of exploring the entire universe (albeit in decision making form) is extremely well done.

I was particularly charmed when the musical lament began for the drones I'd lost in battle.
