Perfect IF, March 27, 2008

What a great game. While I can imagine a straight fiction based on the same concept, this is a perfect example of a story that cries out to be interactive. The only reason it misses out on five stars in my book is that the endgame becomes slightly repetitious. However the game as a piece, as a whole, is IF born to be IF. Highly recommended.

Baf's Guide


A brief game with a novel premise that it would be disastrous to describe. This work plays some interesting games with the player/player-character/parser identities. It also turns off meta-verbs, so be prepared for the fact that you won't be able to save and restore. The game is so brief, thought, that it probably won't matter much. Definitely worth a try.
