Pop songs from the Future of Videogames

But, yeah, on the other hand Akira Yamaoka does kind of fit somehow??

I think it’s partially this jarring thing where this contemporary pop anthem makes the game feel like it’s trying to work the same way as a movie or ongoing TV show, except interactive.

There is something about The Room in particular, in its, er, room segments, that feels kind of multimedia-esque. Like it has a legacy from D and The 7th Guest more than Biohazard and Alone in the Dark.
