The game swirls about, shining with translucent cleverness, February 14, 2011The world jaunts with a breezy freshness: your path spirals dizzyingly over its own shadow, sloping to a point with increasing sharpness. Words reach deep into their meanings and bloom in a curious luminance that sometimes occludes but never falters. Wit glides slyly through the air, which crackles with her subtle intrusions.
Exploration is rich with its own reward. Hints curl in on themselves until wanted. Implementation enfolds you with far-reaching warmth, rarely uncomfortable.
Your understanding broadens. Obfuscation scatters, and the world comes into focus with a pleasant sigh.

Excellent and unique, June 15, 2008"For A Change" isn't actually in a different language - it uses regular English words, but in an extremely stylized manner. The gameplay itself is rather simple; the charm of the game comes from watching the way the author uses language, and figuring out the rules of the strange world you find yourself in.
There are a few issues with implementation: one or two times I figured out what I had to do but the game wouldn't accept my phrasing. But these are only minor problems, and didn't interfere much with my enjoyment of the game. All in all it's an excellent and truly unique experiment.
