Subsurface Circular is a game with an amazing name. Seriously, not only does it look like the most sci-fi name I think I could possibly imagine, it’s so much fun to say. Go on and say it out loud, feel the way your mouth so naturally makes the shapes it’s like these words are destined to go together. Beyond its name, Subsurface Circular is a detective game housed entirely inside a circular metro route (hence the name).

Mike Bithell (the creator of Subsurface, Thomas Was Alone and Volume) clearly has an interest in post-humanism and the future position of technology in society. Thomas Was Alone was about emerging computer intelligence and Volume was about the power technology could bestow onto the people. Then we have Subsurface Circular.
