Digit, by Joey Acrimonious

A parser choice options game with few options., April 19, 2022

I have played this game for a while and the scheme is, as described in documentation, a barely talk / examine game where you travel all along through the choice options given by the game. There is many, many times to write "talk" and a few other actions.
This game is a text novel story where two girlfriends discover herself through some hypnosis experiments.

If you like erotic stories you can play it or not, otherwise this game doesn't worth a try.

Let's Talk Alex, by Stephanie Smith

A bit of psychologist for an unestable couple relatonship., April 19, 2022

So if you are Alex it is supposed I am Andra.

A short and very imaginative (low cost psychology) game where we can see how a couple try to fix and upgrade his relationship.
This festival I have played several games about space, psychologist, fiancees, dogs, hyperspace, fairies… all seems to be in duplicate.
In the reality things often goes upside down, she has the pan for the handle when talking about home things.
Meanwhile you can play several times with same ending.

Orbital Decay, by Kayvan Sarikhani

Save the ISS to crash down our planet., April 16, 2022

ORBITAL DECAY

There are always some space operas in any jam. It is a recurrent theme.
The author explains that this was to be a C64 graphic adventure and I realize it. Good graphics, inmersive music, and a hard scify pov.
I think Kayvan has been incestigating all info around ISS. The result is a simulacionist game, I like that flavour, where you do your actions the right way. If you detach tour helmet you die (there is a bug here, when you are inside the ship you are questionated about taking off the helmet you have previously take off and you die if you do here). You have to do the actions in the right sequence but there is a list in the wall, so this isn’t difficult.
Then you will have to fix and perform some tasks, discovering what have happened to the starship.

Anyway I liked this game very much. The left pannel let’s you turn the music on/off, save/restore the game and the left pannel shows graphics and the text box.

A good game everyone could try.

Fairest, by Amanda Walker

A must play game from Spring Thing 2022, April 15, 2022

THE FAIRIEST

Yet another piece of art work from Amanda.
This is an original threatment for an old kind of adventure.
This game started as a simply way for bringing today an actualization about fairies, but become a polished, inmersive, full lenght game with a lot of final endings.
It is a easy game but as this is a full one, you will need to take some notes and writting down some maps.
The last interest is in using special commands to retrieve all the juice from the game.
This is a game that you will play slowly, reading and tasting all the text.
I hope Amanda go on bringing us new if pieces for a long time.

Bigfoot Bluff, by P.B. Parjeter

A good game about thematic parks and bigfoots., April 15, 2022

BIGFOOT BLUF

Another interesting piece of work by P.B. Parjeter.

Two interesting thing about the game: this was betatested in IFMUD and offline for various betatesters messaging between them with some agility.
This kind of test assured a polished and top notch game so everything has been argued and debated.

The game is an original piece with some score gameplay and a lot of interesting and original and smart puzzles very well inserted in the gameplay. It has a medium map with some explorating leads.
Furthermore there is a nice map in the feelies you surely welcome.
So, this is a game about bigfoots and a exploring game that will enjoy most of adventurers.
I recommend give it a try becouse I enjoyed it.

Baby on Board, by Eric Zinda

An audio experiment with a good game behind., April 15, 2022

BABY ON BOARD

I tried to test Erik’s game but my PC and my low english spoken skill didn’t let me do. This is a game you have to speak with,
you have to play using voice and full English as the interface but I used the keyboard becouse voice just wasn’t working.

So I gived it a try introducing text and I can say this worth a try. It is an original piece pf work, you will enjoy it.

Hinterlands: Marooned!, by Cody Gaisser
A very polished game about first contact., April 15, 2022

HINTERLANDS MAROONED

Well, when I played Hinterlands for the very first time I expected a full lenght game from Cody after his Rooms saga. This is an experimental game where you can interact with a creature and enjoy it. Let’s try anything you came on mind. You will get back a lot of interesting situations.

Custard & Mustard's Big Adventure, by Christopher Merriner
2 of 3 people found the following review helpful:
Doggy style IF story very well written., April 15, 2022

CUSTARD AND MUSTARD

This is a bright game I tried to test but I haven’t enough english skill and I couldn’t do any properly transcript in Adventuron.

I started to play this simulationist game where you will be a gog and have to play some dog’s adventure. As far as I could see this is a very polished game by Christopher. I have this game red marked in my TODO list, so I will expand this review soon.

Another Cabin In The Woods, by Quain Holtey
Another inmersive game in the woods., April 15, 2022

ANOTHER CABIN IN THE WOOD

The better word that defines this game is INMERSION.
Sounds, music, spoken messages give the game an inmersive atmosphere where you discover a great history while you clean up the house to sell it. Flashbacks and music pieces do this game as original as beautiful.
