Adding to the massive list of supposedly regular features that is rapidly building an intimidating backlog in my bewildered mind, I'll be trying to give a weekly update on the free browser-based games that deserve to steal some of your precious minutes and speed your gentle boat ride to the grave.
I'm starting off with a weird one. Every Day The Same Dream replays the same depressing day of an office drone seeking escape from his humdrum, monochrome existence. Admittedly, we need another satire on wage slavery and white-collar depression about as much as we need Lindsay Lohan back on our screens (Lohan in India, anyone?), but a worker looking for control in a ruthlessly controlled environment has interesting connections with players exploring a game world. Also, the music is bang-on, creating an industrialised, lyrical atmosphere.
Give it a few minutes, and don't give up. You'd be forgiven for assuming that it was simply an endless, infinite loop commenting on the drudgery of the rat race, but there is an ending. Listen to the old lady in the lift and you'll find it. I just can't guarantee it'll be a happy one.
PLAY IT: HERE!
