Jeff from Just Press Start states:
"Peter Brinson, of The Cat and the Coup fame stops by again to discuss his newest project: Rehearsals and Returns. This intriguing piece is about conversations that will never take place, and gives you the chance to figure out what you’d say to various famous people if given the chance. As I say during the interview, this game makes you learn a lot about yourself while exploring the world trying to pick up new things to say. This game recently met its kickstarter funding goals, and should be released next year. I've already had a chance to try this gem, and I can tell you it’s unlike anything you've ever experienced before!"
Rehearsals and Returns is a video game about conversations that will never take place. It’s a odd game where you’ll travel along a short platforming stage (in which you can’t jump!), then meet up with someone you know or someone famous (alive or dead), and either offer them words of wisdom, love or hate. This makes for some very interesting scenarios, as you meet people such as your dentist, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Osama Bin Laden, Tiger Woods and Patrick Swayze. As the games developers say ‘these days modern media lets us share all of our thoughts, but what would you say if no one was listening?’
It’s an interesting concept and a great art style, and while the gameplay does get a tad repetetive before the end of it’s short (30min/1hr) playtime, it’s worth playing through for the pay-off at the end.
