So democracy was on my side, but just barely. Because of this, and because of the many valid points and concerns which were brought forth by those folks less than convinced by my app, I feel it’s only proper that I respond with an essay to explain in greater depth my views of the game, story, and characters of ICO before I begin playing. I hope to address several of the various concerns in this essay, but please understand that I do have a life beyond CFUD, so it may not be entirely comprehensive. However, I do owe courtesy and a great deal more to the players who were willing to either let me pester them for votes or give me the benefit of the doubt, and so with any luck this essay may prove me worthy of such confidence.
Please note that for the sake of clarity I will adopt in this essay a technique I’ve seen employed elsewhere in dealing with this game—when referring to the game itself I will capitalize it as ICO, while its eponymous character will be, simply, Ico. Please also note that this essay will unapologetically contain SPOILERS, because it’s nearly impossible to discuss any aspect of the game with any depth without mentioning the full context. My apologies.
