Hi all. I loved the game “Enlightenment” (entered in IFComp 3 in 1998). It provided a unique feel that I would like to find in another game. I’ve searched several times over the last decade for information on the author, Taro Ogawa, but he seems a ghost. The only other work released under that name was a joke game called “Encryptment”.
Based on the polish, robust implementation, and obvious love of the genre put into Enlightenment, I have difficulty believing that this is the author’s ONLY published work. I have long suspected Taro Ogawa to be a pseudonym, though I could be mistaken.
Does anyone have any information on this author, or even any games that provide a similar feel to Enlightenment?
