The Residents: Freak Show
CD-ROM by The Voyager Company
The Residents: Freak Show is a CD-ROM by The Voyager Company. A few years earlier they had released a similar work based on The Residents entitled Twenty Twisted Questions.[1] The project was spearheaded by James Ludtke.[2]
Critical reception
[edit]The Atlantic deemed it one of the most influential early CD-Roms.[3] Wired noted it was "widely hailed as the best CD-ROM ever".[4] PC Mag listed it as one of the top 100 CD-ROM titles.[5] The book Resolution felt the title opened up the "poetic possibilities" of the interactive medium.[6] The Book is Dead deemed it "obscure".[7] The Voyager Company themselves noted the limitations of sound in the medium which had the potential of alienating players.[8] The New York Times felt the game offered the player a chance to view the characters' "sad yet oddly exhilarating lives".[9]
