Irritating and unfunny
JJ Guest writes, “I began writing Escape from the Crazy Place when I was
thirteen years old, and have now finally finished it, aged thirty-six. In spite
of this I still haven't the slightest idea of what it's about.” And how.
I can only imagine that the vast stretch of time was spent on the technical
details of adapting the game to the parser, as the admittedly bug-free play
reads like something written by a 13 year old. The game opens with an NPC
hamburger vending clown named Donald McRonald who eventually “takes two fingers
and stuffs them up your nostrils for a joke,” and it deteriorates from there.
The play, the “puzzles” (such as they are) and the illustrations are simple,
sophomoric and pointless.
If this sort of humor is your cup of tea, have at it; it’s the only thing
Escape From the Crazy Place has going for it. If on the other hand you find it
as irritating and unfunny as I do, you’d be well advised to give it a pass.
