Fridge / The Dig (1995)

aka: The DIG

Fridge Brilliance

• It seems unclear why, after reviving Ludger Brink with the Life Crystals, he becomes so obsessive to have more of them, at first fascination, then a more possessive need for them, maybe even using them constantly. Over time his eyes would turn so haggard, his skin wrinkled, hands grabby and thin and his self-preservation completely broken. Brink became a drug addict for a life-reviving crystal, and showed every classic sign of a junkie's downward spiral.
• The title is appropriate: you'll be using the shovel a lot, making it the single most useful item in the game.
