Roshomon Cafe - the interactive story of Albert and Lovely Lisa - a 2.4M shockwave download... Just one of many finalists in the flashforward2001 Flash Film Festival.

Very good, thanks. Just shows how rich the form is if you use traditional narrative and character-building techniques. I can only imagine the amount of work that went into this - specially the detailing, which seems perfect(e.g. the restaurant inside-knowledge).
It also made me deplore those who keep blaming the medium for their shoddy, lazy attempts.
I'd say I hope it wins but can't seem to find the other finalists. Shinybeast, duh, do you know where - or if - we can see any of them?

If you're on the Flash version of the site, you have to click on "Flash Film Festival" to see the list of finalists. If not, the HTML version of the site offers this link.

this adventure encourages hesitation and dependance on luck. utterly unrealistic for anything except the service industry.
