2010's Digital: A Love Story was an unappreciated gem, a mysterious and sweet little sci-fi visual novel told through BBSs "five minutes into the future of 1988." Now, developer Christine Love's blasting off into the far-flung future with the sequel Analogue: A Hate Story. In Love's own words, Analogue is "A dark visual novel that further extends the non-linear style of Digital: A Love Story in a mystery featuring transhumanism, traditional marriage, loneliness, and cosplay," packing several endings. The story will unfold aboard a lost colonization vessel from the 25th century, rediscovered multiple millenia after it silently vanished in deep space. Together with a "spunky AI sidekick," you'll uncover just what went wrong by working through the crew's logs, and maybe, just maybe, learn a little about love and/or hate along the way. Due on PC, Mac and Linux some time this month, Analogue will cost $15. It may sound weird and different and scary and you may refuse to play anything with anime artwork, but given how smashing Digital was, it could be jolly pleasant.

      These type of games should be getting more popular with the tablets taking off.
