Curiously Enchanting, May 24, 2013by octofuzz (Trondheim, Norway) I am in the middle of a 'home exam' and fancied half an hour of IF. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | View comments (1) - Add comment

Ricemans view, October 23, 2011When I saw this game many of the reviews made it out to be amazing though you only give one command.So I played it and I absolutely hated it. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | View comments (2) - Add comment

A Neat Little Game, September 3, 2011This is a fun game that'll definitely be worth your time. You make one action. The story ends. And then you start again. Although I was a bit apprehensive when I heard about the premise, this was actually quite an entertaining game. Through different actions you slowly get a view of your past and your present. The author seems to have accommodated for almost anything you'd want to do. Like Plotkin's The Space Under the Window, you begin with very little information but learn more and build off of that knowledge. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

A Novel Approach, June 5, 2011by Adam D The only one-turn game i've seen so far and the approach is very novel! I love how every single action unravels part of the story and lets you learn just a bit more about the main character and the woman. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

We'll always have Rome..., November 10, 2010by The Year Is Yesterday (California) Gnocchi. A brunette (Clare?). Violence, remorse, longing. Or maybe plain old penne. The beauty of this game isn't in the story it tells. The beauty is in the story that exists between the lines. What happened in Rome, and why does it stir up such emotions? You have only an aisle, some pasta, a woman and a trolley, and one turn in which to do something. But, as the impressive breadth of unique responses indicates, there's an awful lot you can do in a single moment. Play with it for at least ten minutes before writing it off as a novelty.

The definition of replayability, July 26, 2009by Dark-Star (Nebraska) An island of quality in a desert of its genre's mediocrity, this intriguing little game arouses one's curiosity in a unique manner - by giving the player but a single turn in which to act. While such a thing might seem shallow at first glance, the author has managed to weave enough detail into the myriad endings that you will soon find yourself trying all manner of actions just to see what the outcome might be.

Great / not so great / moving, August 22, 2008Gotta give it a try, absolutely. It will take you just a few seconds. And then maybe some more seconds. And then more... Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Good for newcomers, July 31, 2008by Tetsuo (Taipei, Taiwan) Having only just returned to IF after a brief and fruitless attempt at Zork a couple of years ago, Aisle is an excellent welcome. It's not as involved as many other games, but the writing and concept are great, and for a beginner like me it's an excellent counterpoint to the misperception that IF is all about "take sword" and "kill orc". The range of possible actions is also quite a surprise, and kudos to the author for that. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Romantic Isolation, July 30, 2008by Jimmy Maher (Oslo, Norway) Most discussion of this work begins and ends with its central gimmick: that it plays out over a single turn, in which you are allowed to choose just one action that will determine how this little vignette concludes. For me, though, that's not the most important thing. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
