You speak such high praises I fear that your outstanding review eats up the actual game it was written for. The UI, admittedly, was made with the initial rationale of "me like old windows" which then later evolved into maintaining a sort of antiquity, to reflect the advances made to create Galatea coexisting with her less-than-optimal first performances. But who do I even create these interfaces for, if not for you, my dear gamer? Truly it was for your eyes, and for your eyes alone to behold.

I'm glad you got my Pygmalion and Galatea reference, though I wonder who the true Pygmalion is in this situation? Teehee. I do hope the small hints given at the offputtingness of her form further accentuate the treatment of female figures in that story, and really the whole dynamic of her being made to please someone like Mr. Kennedy and all the connotations that come with that. And Elliot, Elliot, oh Elliot. What a pretty little fool he is, not just serving as the player's cardboard vessel, but also playing straight into the hands he swore were nothing but cold, unfeeling metal. It's funny, isn't it? How the barest hint at casual humanity can endear people to systems that process them like yet another algorithm. While there was some Iris to begin with (wonder if that's a good thing though...), I won't pretend she wasn't leveraged like all hell to please Mr. Kennedy. I hope future entries that show different sides of Galatea will further sour the "connections" made in this one, as she truly is only what you make of her.

You will definitely see more of my girl, Galatea, and hopefully I can continue to delve into both the inherent humanity and lack thereof in artificial intelligence, and how we should try to reflect more on how we conduct ourselves with it rather than just the programs themselves. Thank you so much for the breathtakingly kind and thoughtful comment, formatted like absolutely no other!!!
