About

Dialogue: A Writer's Story is a game about conversations, writing and science. In Dialogue, you play as the writer Lucille Hawthorne, exploring characters and events through a year in her life via mostly ordinary, and occasionally fantastical, conversations. The game consists of various types of conversations with different mechanics. Active conversations occur in real-time, and the effect of Lucille's statements can be modified through her equipped Focus. Exploratory conversations map different subjects spatially, allowing for backtracking and finding new paths, while emails can be arranged and edited.

All that said, I found the main protagonist extremely likeable, and the way you can navigate her through these scenes by using a set of deceptively deep gameplay mechanics made the game a pleasant experience. Considering that I didn’t ever truly buy into the premise of the plot, that’s a real credit to the way that the game plays and feels. Developer Tea Powered Games has some great ideas here, and I can’t help but hope that its next title be something like a murder mystery game! But if you do fancy sliding into the shoes of a struggling writer, you could do worse than play Dialogue: A Writer’s Story.

It’s a very English game – the most profound conflicts you’ll find are when you accidentally interrupt someone’s train of thought with a premature question, or get mildly irritated at a well-intentioned but unhelpful suggestion. Whether you’ll find Dialogue: A Writer’s Story fascinatingly unique or deeply boring depends on the kind of person you are, but I promise you that you’ve never played anything quite like it before.
