Self-reviewing, September 5, 2008by madducks (Indianapolis, Indiana)
The most striking feature of "Dreary Lands" is the awful spelling. I can't imagine that it was proof-read even once. Towards the end there is a nearly game-stopping bug, but the game can be completed. I was going to say quite a bit about the writing, which had some promise, but the following quote from the about text of the game pretty much removes the need to add anything to this review:
"I know this game is not very good; It even disappoints me.
[...]
I am not going to release a better version of this game, though."

A shortish parser game with color effects and a fantasy/Escape story , May 26, 2016by MathBrush
In this game, you play someone who has lost their memory and finds themselves in a room with nothing but a mysterious colored rod. 6ou go through a sequence of escapes with some genuinely creative and fun puzzles before transitioning to another genre.
There were some bugs and many typos, but I enjoyed it overall, especially the first half. The author was 14 at the time of writing, and this game is a significant accomplishment for someone of that age.
