Excellent idea - flawed implementation, January 12, 2012by E.K.
While the gameplay concept for this game is admirable - the ability to modify communication with NPCs through multiple verbs and adverbs - the implementation leaves a lot to be desired. Experimental games tend to make me want to experiment, yet I would all too often be stuck in a rut of trying out different modes of speech with no success. The prose is vivid and enjoyable, and the characters enjoyably drawn. The game is certainly worth a play-through despite its flaws.

A romance game based on Tartans and adverbs, February 10, 2016by MathBrush
I put off this review for months because I hoped to find the solution to the game. But, I cant, so here goes. You play a Scottish man who is trying to stop the wedding of his love. It has two interesting mechanics. First, you change Tartans to change how others perceive you. Second, you modify actions with adverbs.
In practice, this is very difficult. The number of possible adverbs is staggering, and there is no IF tradition to rely on. Even though the game is short, it's hard to find the solution.
Overall, an intriguing experiment.
