An awesome experiment in perspective, in story-through-environment, in developing characters without dialogue in the course of 13 minutes, in what's possible with video game storytelling and where it can take us.

The only problem I found with the game's open-ended interpretation: Most of the theories that make sense--the best stuff--is shattered by a note in the developer's commentary, where a forced design decision (i.e., boxes to block a doorway) doesn't seem to follow character motivations.

I hope Chung sticks with Citizen Abel stories in the future; Gravity Bone and 30 Flights are above and beyond the rest of his output, IMO, and despite its length, I found the game well worth supporting with a handful of dollar bills.

The game comes with a copy of Gravity Bone (freeware) accessible from the menu, and, as mentioned, a developer's commentary that's definitely worth checking out. Both GB and 30FoL ask to be replayed at least once or twice. You'll notice a load of new things each time.
