Name That Game 60!

This game is notable because it’s based on a short story by a famous author, who was heavily involved in this game’s development – going so far as to voice the game’s main villain.

It’s also notable because the game can’t really be won – there are multiple endings and they are all bad. But one is much less bad than the others.

Name and developer, please!

    Correct! If you’d like to experience the game but don’t want to bother tracking it down and getting it to run, there’s a fairly straightforward Let’s Play of it over at the Let’s Play Archives.

    What a depressing game.
