Great for beginners, smooth, and adaptive, April 1, 2023Bronze is an interactive fiction following a similar story of beauty and the beast, but wildly different. With mechanics and fantastical backstory, this game is world-built in the best ways. It’s got an expansive yet still navigable structure, with in-built hints (that is quite literally the best thing an IF can have).
It’s almost romance, but also it’s fantasy and a story of revenge. There is no way to die, and there’s so much optional character backstory you can see. It’s a story full of magic. It is focused on one goal, with all the optional content limited to the main storyline, so there’s no real side-quests, only little bits of information you can look up which aren’t necessary.
It has multiple endings as well, and they’re all easily accessible. I’d definitely recommend this one for beginners.
Beautiful and immersive, great replay value, endings galore, April 1, 2023(4.5/5)
Coloratura is honestly one of my favourite games to ever be made. It’s got an amazing mechanic- colouring people’s auras, with different meanings. It’s a beautiful message, and an amazing way of sensing things. You play as an alien traversing through a spaceship, trying to get back home.
It deals with topics of loneliness, participation, and emotional influences. It’s a unique way of seeing the world, and one that I can relate to in an esoteric and unexplainable way. This game is a combination of sci-fi, stealth and fantasy, as well as a tale of companionship and relations.
The only reason I rate this not a five out of five is because of the fact there’s no hint system, and trial and error can be the only thing you can do sometimes, with little to no warning at sudden ends which you didn’t realise would be happening.
