Research Dig

Baf's Guide

An 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.
