The idea is that, rather than leading you by the nose through a story, having a non-linear collection of documents, artefacts and interactions will encourage players to gradually tease out a story of tragic love and exploration while uncovering more about the nature of the Institute and its Black Crown project.

It’s an uncertain world out there, at least if you’re perched at the top of a publishing house.
Everyone always presents the past as orderly and the future as chaotic. But the exact same debates came up when radio was first introduced, and then again when television was introduced: The previous Cambrian die-off of newspapers came when TV pioneered the evening news and people went home to watch TV rather than buy an evening paper. So the people who are confused about the multiplicity of platforms are the people who aren’t used to multiple platforms. People who wrongly believed that the way the world happened to be reflected how the world really was at a deep level, they get upset. But they always get upset anyways; they are conservatives. Young people aren’t confused at all.

Carl’s tired, and that’s OK. That’s how he must be. That’s part of the zeitgeist of the Web, as Carl once explained it to me. People don’t surf the Web to find “cool” stuff, he said, they do it for the pure joy of the hunt.
The Web is a place where you go, without ever getting anywhere. And that’s its infinite beauty, says the always-dreaming, ever-searching, totally tired Carl: “It’s the journey, not the destination, on the Web.”
— A fascinating window into the early days of the internet and its radical pioneers, way back in 1996, on longform.org - from Wired’s 20th anniversary ebook
