Okay., April 15, 2022by Nomad The Lesson of the Tortoise is a short, okay game with an interesting setting. You're a Chinese farmer who finds out his wife has a lover, and those two dump him in the basement of his own home, probably to kill him later. Interesting setup, innit?

Worthwhile Diversion, April 8, 2013by Andromache (Hawaii) This is a tiny game that is worth playing as a diversion, but nothing really stands out to me as far as writing or atmosphere. Things are described sparsely and in broad strokes. There isn't too much to go on in terms of scenery or characterization. The prose is functional, however, and puzzles are mostly clued well. I did have some trouble with one of them (Spoiler - click to show)the puzzle box, but aside from that bump in the road, the game moved along pretty smoothly. I would definitely recommend that people play this game. Just don't expect too much depth. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Flipping Through a Simple, Oriental Tale, July 18, 2010by Sorrel The Lesson of the Tortoise has a simple eastern flavor, with none of the bows and whistles of many modern-day IF games. You're a man who happens upon a tortoise on his way home. Upon your return to your house, you witness a terrible betrayal by your wife. The puzzles are quite linear, making it very clear that you should get from point A to point B. The puzzles are relatively easy, but allow for a lot of ways to die if you've forgotten to do something or pick up an essential item earlier in the story. Fortunately, the UNDO command will allow you to go as far back as you want. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
- finferflu (Manchester, UK), September 26, 2009 - Karl Ove Hufthammer (Bergen, Norway), January 12, 2009 - NiMuSi (London, UK), March 17, 2008 - Michel Nizette (Brussels, Belgium), January 18, 2008 Baf's GuideA short fable of wisdom, adultery, and magic, based loosely on Chinese folklore. Nicely done. Very linear, but with good storytelling. Uses a simplified conversation system that some have complained about, but which seemed to me suited to the style and context. -- Carl Muckenhoupt
