1-4 of 4 - Kinetic Mouse Car, August 19, 2022 >INVENTORY - Paul O'Brian writes about interactive fiction I also had trouble with a number of the puzzles, and was unable to figure them out without a walkthrough, but I can't tell if that's because of the stumbling English and buggy code, or the difficulty of the puzzles, or just my own denseness. On balance, I'd say that Purple is a very rough version of what could become a good IF vignette. After it's undergone a few vigorous rounds of beta-testing, you might want to give it a try.

An intriguing science fiction apocalyptic game with guess-the-verb problems, July 5, 2017This is a really creative and original game, with a nuclear apocalypse and a sort of dual-world situation. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
Baf's GuidePost-apocalyptic science fiction, with some nice moments but also a lot of implementation problems. Nuclear holocaust is imminent, but your brother Karl has devised a machine that will help you survive the blast; now, you're trying to survive in a rather unfamiliar landscape. There are lots of programming problems, particularly toward the end--it's easy to get nonsensical responses if you do things out of sequence--but there's also a good sense of atmosphere, and a few moments are genuinely chilling. The writing is sometimes effective and sometimes ungrammatical or unclear, but usually it's good enough not to get in the way. An uneven effort. -- Duncan Stevens
