It didn’t work consistently and really detracted from my engagement with the game. Yet while evocative of the strange blend of dreamscape and nightmare the game presents, the presentation really did just look cheap at times.

I also appreciate that Wales Interactive has likely made a very deliberate choice in terms of this artistic direction – while the game looks like a PC relic from the late 90s, the clunky, distorted visuals do fit the fragmented vibe that runs right through Master Reboot in terms of narrative and environment. This may come down to individual taste: where I consider Master Reboot’s look to be dated, another player might appreciate such graphics as more unique. The visuals are sparse and not particularly effective or effective. I found it not only distracting but also significantly detrimental to my overall enjoyment of the game. Master Reboot’s presentation is also striking, although in a way that could potentially be divisive. In my play through I had to get toy horses in a playground to shoot a tree branch to pieces with lasers that came out of their eyes, and was also killed by an evil giant teddy bear. In fact, the proliferation of ducks (yes, really) throughout Master Reboot speaks to the game’s more bizarre elements. Each of these memories is also littered with blue rubber ducks, collectibles which contain messages to the protagonist from the living world. A memory is completed upon reaching a white cube, upon which the player is returned to the Soul Cloud. In a flying memory I had to find a way to unlock a cabin door while avoiding Seren.exe, who was patrolling up and down the aisle. In a childhood memory I had to find three keys spread throughout a house in which my perspective was acutely distorted to reflect the age of the protagonist at the time. The puzzles present in each of the memories are varied enough and, prevent the overall game play experience from becoming too repetitive. The puzzle and horror aspects of the game are primarily evident in the game play experience presented by these individual memories. In the midst of this lies Seren.exe, a virus that exists within the Soul Cloud and manifests in the form of a scary looking girl who pursues the player throughout these memories. Instead, they exist as signposts on a journey in which the player is largely attempting to reveal the identity and fate of Master Reboot’s protagonist.
These experiences are by their very nature fragmented, because they are incomplete.

In order to play through a specific memory I merely had to walk up to a series of doors, each of which literally ‘housed’ one of these memories. These memories are located within the main base of the Soul Cloud and are given quite literal names: beach memory, park memory, graveyard memory, and so on. It is largely appropriate, given the nature of the storyline and the fact that the primary goal of the player is to experience a selection of memories that belong to a character whose true presence in the Soul Cloud is somewhat of a mystery. The disorientation and desolation of the opening sequence establishes this theme: the sparse visuals, the stripped back music and the lack of overall direction speak to the bare, minimalist approach Wales Interactive has taken here. Within the first thirty minutes of playing the game, I immediately sensed that Master Reboot is a title that is predicated upon presenting a sense of fragmentation.
