Janine "Iris Ophelia" Hawkins' ongoing review of gaming and virtual world style
Tomorrow is the first day of February, the one month of the year where you likely won't be able to go more than a day without hearing about love. There might be no better month to play How Do You Do It?, a short and painfully sincere browser-based game made for the recent Global Game Jam by a team of just four people.
When you're young, love has a lot more to do with what you see in movies and on TV than anything else. Transport yourself back to the late '90s, and imagine that you're a young girl with two dolls and a few fleeting moments to herself one afternoon. You recently saw Titanic, and it raised a few questions in your mind. Namely, how exactly do you do it? You'll use the WASD keys to position your arms, J and K to rotate each of the dolls, and eventually fumble your way to the truth. Maybe?
It'll take about five minutes of your time to play what is so far one of the most charming and earnest games of 2014. Just be sure to reach the end and check out your "score".
