One of the richest magic systems in IF games, packed into a compact map, December 23, 2023This large and multi-faceted game has you start off trapped in a closet in a motel room--not an auspicious beginning for a game of great mystical power.

A Joy to Play, September 30, 2023by odetolava I had a lot of fun playing this game! The magic system is well implemented (although I do recommend keeping track of which amulet does what with each gem - Ryan Veeder has a chart on his hints page, and there's a guide in the walkthrough as well) and it was really just a joy to explore the game and push the limits of the player's capabilities. The puzzles were clever and rewarded experimentation, which I prefer to clever and needing a very specific solution in order to solve. Cute spooky story, probably took me around two hours to complete, although I didn't quiteee get to do everything that was possible - accidentally started the last chapter before I was done exploring, not realizing that I wouldn't get to come back, which is probably on me.

Totemally magic, August 26, 2023by Plotalot I haven't played the Balderstone game from which Skuga Lake has been upgraded, so I can say that this definitely shines as a standalone piece. There is a nice vignette at the start of the new edition interviewing the fictional author Leah Naidu which whets the appetite by introducing a few of the main themes and characters in the game...
