Wonderful, intricate, intimidating story and puzzles. Better than Sorceror., February 3, 2016I rushed through Ballyhoo, but even so the story was marvelous and stunning. This is a mystery game set in a dreary circus. The feel is a lot like Not Just and Ordinary Ballerina. You investigate the disappearance of the owner's daughter after hours.

Comments on this reviewPrevious | << 1 >> | Next <blank>, September 28, 2015 - Reply Careful with "Better than Sorceror" and "More fun than Lurking Horror and Sorcerer". The three games you mentioned are completely different, and although it's useful for us to know that you had more fun with Ballyhoo, it would be more helpful to know why. I would make sense for me to compare, for instance, Sorceror to Planetfall (same author and design style), or Infidel to Cutthroats (same "Tales of Adventure"), or Seastalker to Moonmist to Wishbringer ("Introductory level IF"). If you're going to make those comparisons, I'd encourage you to expand. There was something about the overall experience of Ballyhoo (mystery/comedy/wordplay) that you found superior to The Lurking Horror (Lovecraftian) and Sorcerer (comedic traditional adventure game). What would that be? Previous | << 1 >> | Next |
