CONDITION ASSESSMENT
GGoodA sound, presentable unsealed copy with visible handling and shelf wear.
Photo + owner inspection · not third-party certifiedMichael Berlyn took a familiar premise—wake up alone to find an automated city failing—and made its central constraint physical: you cannot move. Instead, you inhabit six robots, each perceptually incomplete, each giving you a different way to understand a world coming apart. One sees, one hears, one feels; one can reach somewhere another cannot. The city is a damaged system whose controls nobody left you a manual for, and its strange plastic face package told you before you typed a word that this was going to be a game about cognition. Suspended feels less like commanding a crew than waking up with your senses distributed across the room.
THE ARCHIVE DRAWER
The world beyond the box.
Front and back photographs document Michael’s unsealed Atari copy—including the cyan-striped package border, its dramatic cryogenic cover image, and the illustrated contents panel on the reverse. Historical materials remain with the preservation projects that made them available.
