Warning: This review contains some pretty heavy spoilers.
For those that don't know, a red herring is somthing used to throw someone off the trail of somthing. A red herring is also a picled fish, and was used to throw off scent-traking dogs.
Now, about the Machines statement in 9/10, the yes//yes//yes//probably are in fact answers, to the four questions before that.
1. Smugness IS a revelant clue.
2. It IS a red herring.
3. The Machine DOES know what a red herring is.
4. You probably know what a red herring is.
Since the Machine THINKS smugness is a revelant clue, and it ALSO thinks it is a red herring, there is the contradistion.
About the game: It was awsome, the fact that some answers were hidden didn't give me too much trouble. It would have been nice for the "Brain" to give better hints, say, every 10 or so minutes that you've been stuck.
Music fits the game pretty well.
I hope there is a sequel.
Reviews for "ir/rational Redux"
Nice game, really original. I loved it that everything was logical. It would be nice if you would make a second part of this:)
This game is amazing!! I consider myself to be quite good at problem solving and logic, yet there were a couple times where I had to sit and think about the situation for a minute or two before progressing.
All my stars belong to you, good sirs.
this game was amazing. it really made me think and use everything ive learned in my psychology classes. keep up the good work.
Aye... I really got stuck on the Michael Atkinson puzzle. I really love this game. It really deserves 5+ stars than the 5 I already gave it. I would love to see a sequel to this.
