1-6 of 6 >INVENTORY - Paul O'Brian writes about interactive fiction Research Dig has pieces of a good story, inexpertly handled so that they don't reach their full potential. In fact, the experience of the game was a bit like a real research dig -- you have to mine through some errors, cliches, and unclear writing, but you can come away with some pretty good pieces.

Much Too Short, October 7, 2021I was hoping for a longer game, got this done in about 5 minutes. Good for beginners, I suppose. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

An archaeology/fantasy game, July 5, 2017This game seems somehow unfinished; you are called in as an expert to an old abbey to investigate some pottery. You travel around the house and grounds, gathering various items, and then are thrown into a different kind of story. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
- liz73 (Cornwall, New York), May 20, 2013 Baf's GuideAn interesting premise--you're an archeologist who stumbles on bigger things--undermined by poor coding. The story doesn't really drive the game--it sort of appears now and again--and just as it looks like the thing's starting to go somewhere, it's over. Lots of little implementation errors and such, and the puzzles aren't really inventive enough to overcome the overall rough feel. On the other hand, there are some nicely atmospheric moments as well, and clearly there's potential here for an interesting sequel. -- Duncan Stevens
