The magic elements of the story are mostly well clued and there is a hint system which is always a big plus for me.

The plot is not very eleaborate and consequently, neither the PC nor the NPCs are fully developed. However, the twists aren't really surprising for anyone who played fantasy IF before.

All in all, Wearing the Claw has an entertaining story, a technically flawless implementation and is all in all a rewarding experience, though quickly finished.

Baf's Guide

A short fantasy with a theme of illusion and an interesting substitute for a scoring system. Your town is subject to a curse that is turning people, bit by bit, into animals. The closer you come to meeting the demands of the wizard responsible, the more your wolf's paw turns back into a hand. (Of course, you don't really wind up appeasing an evil wizard, but I'll spare you the plot twists.) Sparse and linear, but with good detail and a couple of well-done magic items. If there were more to it, it would be one of the finest of its type. Features a hint menu.
