To All of You – Syd Matters
As we left Mr Jefferson’s classroom for the first time and headed down to the bathroom, unknowing of what lay in store for us there, we checked out posters, rummaged in bins and gained a little bit more information on these new faces lining the sides of the corridor. We can’t quite put our finger on exactly why this song perfectly fit our wandering down the corridor in Episode 1, but it just did.
Maybe it was the fitting lyrics as we walked past all of the cast we would soon get to know. Maybe it was because Max had put the song on herself and so it immersed us in the experience. We were there as a part of Max, living in her mind and making the decisions, rather than just being an observer of the story. While this may have felt rather insignificant in the grand scheme of things, at this very moment, it gives the player a great introduction to the game’s mechanics, characters, and style as a whole.
