 What just happened?, October 20, 2011by Ron Newcomb (Seattle) Seriously, I've made it to the end of the game, and didn't understand a blessed thing other than the parser is supposed to be someone writing a letter to you. I think. The title leads me to believe that the game is in-jokey, that you have to be familiar with particular other works of interactive fiction to even approach this one.

It doesn't reference other IF (as far as I can remember), so you're not missing anything through lack of familiarity. The story might make slightly more sense if you're familiar with the non-interactive prose DeNiro has had published, but only because of shared themes and narrative techniques, not shared plot/setting elements. |
