Vast but not Cruel - an IFDB Poll
by
Floating Info RSS FeedI'd like to see games that are long and spacious, yet aren't Cruel (or very Nasty) on the Zarfian scale. Essentially, games that the main reason for saving is for time or the occasional timed part.

"Affords a great sense of freedom and size..." [+]"Affords a great sense of freedom and size...: ...particularly for a game that proves to be quite linear. Maher disguises said linearity quite well, and the source material (Lovecraftian skulduggery and Elizabethian drama) is richly explored without seeming excessively arcane. The puzzles are mostly fair, though I agree with Emily Short's suggestion that a professional printer might not have the trouble that I, the PC, had operating a printing press. Thoroughly engrossing." () --ifailedit... "Not the longest..." [+]"Not the longest game out there, but definitely much longer than most. There is much to do, and the puzzles are fair."
