"The Price of Coal is not a game with a happy ending – just as with those real people whose story the game is based on, while individuals may very well scrape something together in the epilogue it is by and large a tale of struggling and then failing. It is, however, an excellent example of how a game can use prompts and character relationships to help us tell a story about such a struggle, grounded in real events, a story of where we’ve been and how we got here, and a reminder of the Price that had to be paid. It is a story worth telling." Click the link for the full CHG review!
