It is notable for introducing and popularizing the one move genre.[1][2] PlotThe main character is a man standing in the pasta aisle of a modern supermarket. The opening text states: You've had a hard day and the last thing you need is this: shopping. Luckily, the place is pretty empty and you're progressing rapidly. The character's interest is piqued by the gnocchi he sees in the pasta aisle and a few other items are noted. Then the player is asked to choose how to proceed. Based on this input the game will reveal the character's story (and back story). Alec Meer describes how things may proceed from here:[3]
ReceptionIt was well received on release with players finding its approach fascinating.[4] On Rock, Paper, Shotgun, Adam Smith called Aisle "one of my favourite explorations of interactive storytelling, seemingly so simple yet capable of telling so many stories that are distorted and/or clarified by the nature of the medium" [5] and Alec Meer said that it was a "fascinating, deeply affecting experiment".[6] On Reviews from Trotting Kripps, Ben Parrish felt Aisle was "flawlessly implemented, wonderfully written, and intensely evocative".[7] Less impressed was Duncan Stevens, writing in SPAG Magazine. Whilst he observed it was "one of the most unusual works to hit the IF community in quite some time" he felt that "Its effectiveness depends on whether it makes an emotional impact, however, and without such an impact, it's a dreary experience at best."[8] On Destructoid Anthony Burch said Aisle is one of the three text games he has fallen in love with, describing it as "one of the shortest text adventures ever, and also one of the longest".[9] In his dissertation "Command Lines: Aesthetics and Technique in Interactive Fiction and New Media", Jeremy Douglass explored the themes and construction of Aisle and concluded that it has a "deeper and fairly consistent morality: physical actions are easy, but social outcomes are hard, and the important thing is respect, honesty, appropriate listening, and the power and responsibility of negative and positive thinking."[10] Similar worksAisle has inspired similar works such as [https://web.archive.org/web/20140427063848/http://lerdvdontvousetesleheros.meteor.com/ "Le RDV dont VOUS êtes le héros"] and parodies like "Pickup the Phone Booth and Aisle". The game Rematch, whilst not inspired directly by Aisle, shares a similar one move structure. Emily Short described it as "the Aisle of puzzle games".[11] AwardsAisle was nominated in the XYZZY Awards of 1999, for Best Story, Best Individual PC and won the award for Best Use of Medium. In the IFDB "Interactive Fiction Top 50 Of All Time (2011 Edition)", Aisle placed 22nd [12] See also
