Thankfully Short, March 25, 2012by Jim Kaplan (Jim Kaplan has a room called the location. The location of Jim Kaplan is variable.) Related reviews: cpuguy89, one-room, short Play it if: you're looking (with all due respect to the author) for the kind of example game not to show beginners to IF, or if you have a strong sado-masochistic streak.

Should be advertised as a game for beginners, December 29, 2011 by Joe Pereira (Portugal) As a first-time game, I congratulate the author on actually producing a playable work of IF. However, should we still be seeing this kind of game in 2009? The author has directly ported a standard graphical escape the room template to textual IF. While playable, I wonder if anybody actually enjoys story-less, basic use object on object-type puzzle games anymore. I might recommend the game as an introduction to basic object manipulation in IF, but other than that, there is nothing there. This may only appeal to lovers of graphical escape the room games - of which I am not. The fact there is no story, no characterization whatsoever, makes me wonder if it can be called IF at all. As I have yet to play an absolutely horrible first time IF game (of which I hear there are many), I give it 2 stars. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Was not enjoyable, November 22, 2011by Asherred This game was not a good game. There was no puzzle other than figuring out what words to use and it would not make a good intro to IF Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

A Promising Start, August 4, 2009by C.E.J. Pacian (England) While Asylum is a cut above the usual 'my first game' game, it still suffers from sparse implementation, poor motivation and a lack of testing. The plot of Asylum sees you standing in a room described only with your desire to exit it and a list of objects. My first (perhaps somewhat evil) reaction was to attempt to take the closet - an action which, in the version I played, succeeded. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
