Fun little romp. Manages to feel like a complete game (despite very few rooms) because of it’s lively non-player characters. The puzzles are very well thought out and difficult, but not impossible - they have a certain logic about them and there are very few instances of parser confusion. This is a well crafted little game by a thoughtful, humorous creator. Wish there were more...

One of my favorites, May 31, 2022

This cracks me up this game. It's so easy to play and one of my favorites. There's definite replayability. The puzzles are easy and fun. It's also a blast to irritate others in the game!

A difficult 4-room parser game set at a cocktail party, August 24, 2019
by MathBrush
Related reviews: about 1 hour

This game took 4th in the Jay is Games Casual Gameplay Competition #7, a competition which produced more good games than just about any other competition I've seen outside of IFComp.

You play as a woman who has been stuck talking to a bore at a cocktail party for two hours. Once he's out of the way, you have an explicit list of 3 things you have to do to escape.

Conversation plays a vital role in this game, making the characters more fun. Puzzle solutions are off the beaten track. Logical in hindsight, but difficult to come up with. It does, however, have an extensive hint system.

Simple general fun, April 29, 2012

The premise of the game is well executed: throughout the game you feel like you're being held in place by the sadistic forces of hell as you try and escape. Perhaps the best quality of the game aside from the premise was the puzzle quality. None of the puzzles were overly difficult and as one reviewer mentioned the hardest part was the timing aspect. (Spoiler - click to show)I probably had to spill on the order of 8 drinks before I was able to get the celery secretly hidden away in my purse. The reaction when the Ron see what you've done to his celery is priceless.

The game took me longer than I think it would most people (an hour or so), it started to get irritating towards the end with the timing aspects simply because once you know how to solve the puzzle the process of executing it is rather mundane.The story didn't remain strong compelling throughout, the implementation however was spot-on.

Very Funny, March 7, 2012

Way more funny than Lost Pig. Has a boat-load of great dialogue and very active npcs. Puzzles are fairly fun, but the best thing about Party Foul is interacting with the other party guests. Well written and technically sound, I highly recommend this game.
