Our take on 199X
Players expecting conventional gameplay may bounce off at the opening exploration sections, where interaction is limited and the story carries most of the experience. The seven-day structure also sets a firm endpoint for anyone looking for a longer adventure.
What is 199X?
199X follows Clara and the person controlling her as they explore Delilah, the town where she lives.
The story centers on navigating Clara’s personal relationships while searching for a cure and progressing toward the game’s conclusion. This narrative adventure is divided into seven playable days and focuses on character-driven exploration rather than complex gameplay systems. The experience lasts 2–3 hours and includes an original soundtrack by Kearney. Clara is the sole protagonist, while the player’s role is closely tied to her perspective and circumstances. The game was written by Evan Tognotti and presents its story through exploration and interaction across the town.
