Fun time travelling game!, January 11, 2015You start off interviewing a suspect. You must prove he murdered his wife. Question him, then explore his home for clues. Can you solve the tale?
The puzzles were good, straightforward and not impossible.
My only complaint is that it's not inherently obvious that you won't get through the game without restarting. I hunted down a walkthrough only to realize that you had to leave without knowing the full story.
I enjoyed the twist at the end. I won't spoil it, but it's well done.
Great game!
Interesting murder mystery., January 10, 2015This was fun. Not exceptionally great or anything, but worth your time.
You're a 12 year old at a library, hoping to score some extra cash. There's some internet conference about to start, but someone was just murdered! Can you figure out who the killer is before the conference starts?
I enjoyed talking to the various suspects. The first guy was my favorite.
There's a twist ending which was entertaining, but not too far off considering that it was an internet convention.
There could've been more choices, the story was linear, but it wasn't bad. A nice diversion.
Fantastic game!, January 10, 2015I loved this! I just finished it and I still have no idea what just happened. Fantastic use of magic? Time travel? Paradoxes? Dimension hopping?
You are a man. Who every frequently gets whisked away by the darkness, and put into another place. Now you have a noose around your neck! Escape and clear your name somehow!
The story was fantastic, although confusing at parts. The puzzles were straightforward, though I did glance at the walkthrough in the beginning.
Overall, fantastic game! I would love to see more missions from this character, or perhaps the similar woman? Either way, it was a fun way to do a mission, and I would gladly do more.
Bravo!
Fantastic color themed game!, January 10, 2015I loved this! I loved how each part was themed by a color, and finding how everything fit together was really well done.
Having random words defined in parenthesis irritated me at first, but later on it was part of the charm. In the end, that became my favorite POV.
I've always been a fan of multiple perspective games, watching the story unfold from various perspectives and piecing everything together is always enjoyable for me. This game does it beautifully.
Beautiful game. Marvelous.
Nice little game, few minor bugs, January 10, 2015I enjoyed this a whole lot! The sound effects were nice, and the pictures were a nice addition! You stated it was meant for 9 and up, and the pictures definitely add to the kid- friendly vibe.
The plot and puzzles were nice and straightforward. Your basic get rid of the dragon story.
My one complaint was it was a bit buggy. When trying to buy the box from the little man, I said "yes", answering the npc's question about wanting to buy the box, and instead I am whisked away to the abandoned inn, dropping all my items. A quick undo fixed this, but that was interesting.
After building the glider, the screw driver broke. I typed "fix", trying to see if that would work, and instead it calls my singing abominable. That doesn't sound like a normal outcome for that verb.
Overall, the bugs didn't detract from my enjoyment of the game, you have a nice little adventure here.
This felt cultish., January 9, 2015I understand you were trying to go all philosophical with inner peace and everything, but not agreeing with the material you presented in game made it a not very enjoyable experience. It felt like I was having those views forced upon me, and I had to agree to proceed.
There also wasn't that much of a plot, just click philosophical links and wal-lah.
I don't know, some people might like this, but I wasn't a fan.
.....What?, January 9, 2015This....isn't a game. It's a ginormous conflobble of a mess.
There is absolutely no plot whatsoever, just a whole lot of random phrases and snippets of could-be games. It was humorous when you read the first page. Then it just kept going and going.....
Yeah, no. Fail.
Nice use of parser!, January 9, 2015You are a god. You have a temple. A poor traveler has wandered into your temple seeking shelter from the storm. He asks for safety and food and promises you devotion and sacrifices. Will you help him?
While helping the man is fun, the real star of this game is the parser. It is your loyal servant, telling the man what to do and telling you his actions. Very creative. I've never seen a game where the parser is its own character.
The puzzles weren't bad, though I did peek at the walkthrough. I do wish he had obeyed my command to dance. Ah well.
The game could've been longer, but I enjoyed this. It fit.
Great game!
