 A romance game based on Tartans and adverbs, February 11, 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. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

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. Was this review helpful to you?

Baf's GuideA brief game that entertainingly spoofs the conventions of the scottish/historical romance genre. It features a unique conversation system in which your statements can be modified with adverbs (it is the only game I know of in which WHISPER HUSKILY is actually a meaningful action), and the first scene features an amusing puzzle with a number of solutions. The game also turns the multimedia abilities of TADS 3 to excellent if limited effect with the inventively decorated status line. Unfortunately, the second scene is more finicky than the first and plays less smoothly -- but the overall effect is still excellent. -- Emily Short
