Robert Allmand has recently released the interactive game portion of his escapism vs. reality project entitled Howard Glitch. I first posted the trailer for the animated segment of the project a few weeks ago, but now the point and click game is available to explore.

Utilizing YouTube’s placed comment links, it leads you through a variety of videos where you use both YouTube controls and logic to maneuver your way through the story. It’s an interesting use of the medium and possibly a sign of things to come. It works something like a choose-your-own-adventure with YouTube as the framework.

Check out the trailer for the adventure segment below and then go give the game a try yourself and let us know what you think. The game is clever in its use of points to click, so don’t think that you’ve won or lost the game after just a few screens. It goes on to get even more intriguing with the use of sound and silence and even other unique uses of the video site. But don’t take my word for it, there are interesting things afoot!
