## What is Seul.(Alone) The entrée?

"Macabre and strange, it's not like anything else you've played before." -148apps.com
"This is a game that defies convention to deliver a philosophical thriller that is arranged a bit like a dream. There's a detective storyline that is easy to grasp on to, and then mixed with elements of nihilism, existentialism, surrealism, solipsism and absurdism mixed with pure horror." - AppAdvice.com
"Seul.(Alone) ticks all those boxes & is up there as one of the finer ‘choose your own adventure’ style games." 7/10 - GBHBL.

Seul.(Alone) is a philosophical thriller, containing horror elements. A subsistence where characters dwell. It is a choose your own adventure type of game but there are mysteries to solve and connections to unfold. Journey through here but remember you may not stay.

Looking deeper at Seul.(Alone) it is a philosophical thriller, meaning it is a thriller based on thrilling philosophical ideas and contains horror elements. From nihilism, existentialism, surrealism, solipsism and absurdism. A narrative told with these ideas kept in mind. I wanted to play on these thoughts but also present some Lynchian kind of world where nothing makes much sense at first glance but as one adapts to it, when it manages to invade itself into you. You begin to see that mostly everything is staged within the game for a reason, a motivation sits behind every image and sentence.

Seul.(Alone) is aimed to be a detective styled game where every choice has weight and you can feel that but I also wanted it to be about nothing. Like how dreams can feel at times. It seems so heavy and important to the dreamer while the dream is happening but when one wakes it seems to lose all its importance or even its sensibility. The weight of it has dissipated and you are left with this odd out of place feeling while you lay there replaying the memory of the dream you just had.
But at times those dreams can still affect you if you lay there and really begin to pull them apart and ask why, what was the reason for that? Where did those thoughts come from? What is my subconscious communicating, where are the links to my life?  Now you are studying the dream… and there’s a whole ocean of stuff behind that now, connections, motivations and meanings. This is what I want to achieve in Seul.(Alone) and you mostly ever find yourself studying those areas of your life when you are truly Seul.(Alone).

### 5/5 — Miss Walker to Mr Koutsouliotas

*2020-06-10, version 1.0.3*

Many years Mr K.
You, right from day dot. Have always had Imagination and, such a wide scope of it.
Coming across this... App...truly opens one up to such an imaginations perspective. Spiritually Awakened now, The World a vastly different place as I’m sure .. this ...the inner imaginings of... one’s Subconscious Explorative Adventures..is.... pending of course Mr K on how brave one truly is.
And, for such I give 5 stars peeps before even trying such..because the lad... is ... not a quitter nor, one willing to not follow through on the ones he loves least...do what’s right.
Congratulations Mr Koutsouliotas. You truly deserve any and, all recognition..for like I.. your no quitter. 
And, that, my fellow Comrade.... is what’s makes such as us just such as opposed to those...who are quiet simply not.
Simone.

### 4/5 — A review can’t say enough

*2018-09-23, version 1.0.3*

This is an engaging albeit dark interactive philosophical horror story. Does that explain it? No. The horror comes from an inner place like a Lynchian adaptation of Sartre with a script by Kafka. 
There, that explains it.

The only reason I have given four stars is that the text needs a lot of editing. Although it is still interesting.
