An interesting game with some implementation difficulties., August 6, 2016by MathBrush This game has descriptive writing and a good story. You wake up on an exam table in a bare room. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
- DJ (Olalla, Washington), May 9, 2013 - Mark Jones (Los Angeles, California), March 31, 2009 - dutchmule, January 4, 2009 Baf's GuideThe game has a rather atmospheric horror setting, but boy is it underimplemented. Most actions resulted in an (often very confusing) default response, there are very few objects to manipulate in every location, and the descriptions are ultra-short. Besides, the game seems to not have been beta-tested thoroughly. Those issues are the more a pity, since the writing manages to be quite effective, and the puzzles are mostly OK. 8 of

Engrossing, but Flawed, November 24, 2008by C.E.J. Pacian (England) The beginning of The Lucubrator is a perfect example of everything that's both great and unfortunate about this game. You start out strapped to a slab in a morgue. Several graphical games have used this gimmick before, probably because it's a sure-fire attention grabber. Straight away, you find yourself in a gripping situation. And straight away, you find yourself having to try and read the author's mind. Because, as I mentioned, you're strapped to a slab in a morgue. So what can you actually do? The restraints aren't described in any detail when you examine them, you can't speak or reach anything... Seriously, what are you supposed to do? The answer is a verb that you probably won't think of unprompted. And sadly, the game doesn't give you any nudges in the right direction.

The IF equivalent of "Dragon's Lair", October 28, 2008You wake up dead, in a hospital. You know, like Planescape Torment, but without the talking skull. Can you find out what happened to you? Or will you just go on a bloody rampage? Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
