Previous | << 1 2 >> | Next | Show All - Kastel, June 20, 2023 I loved the interface! The premise took only seconds to understand, and it was designed with a wonderful sense of quirky humor. In sum, you are a deity -- not an omnipotent one, but one who works through communication and inspiration. The main character is the hapless Bellclap, a pathetic shepherd who worships you and has taken shelter from a rainstorm in your temple. The parser is your obedient servant who relays your entries on the command lines to Bellclap and passes back information on Bellclap's actions. I don't think I've seen it done before, and, if it has been done before, I doubt it's been done as well as it was done here.

I was sorry when the game ended so soon, and I'm certainly looking forward to future works by this author.

An odd little game where you are a God, February 4, 2016by MathBrush In this game, you play a God, the parser is an angel, and the PC is a worshipper named Bellclap. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Nice use of parser!, January 9, 2015by Chai Hai (Kansas City KS) You are a god. You have a temple. A poor traveler has wandered into your temple seeking shelter from the storm. He asks for safety and food and promises you devotion and sacrifices. Will you help him? Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

If God is omnipotent, can He make a puzzle He cannot solve?, September 26, 2010by Victor Gijsbers (The Netherlands) You should play Bellclap. But you should play it by following David Welbourn's annotated walkthrough. The rest of this review will explain (a) why you should play the game, and (b) why you should not try to do it on your own.

A very good game in a small package, October 31, 2007A fascinating mess-up of some IF conventions, this (very short) experiment is only partly successful. But somehow, the game manages to keep the thrust of its catchy opening line. Pleasantly subdued humor, decent puzzles. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
