A different kind of flavour for a game., February 20, 2022We are in front of a different flavour for a game. I mean this is a choice options game where the token words are in the descriptions and answers.
The original plot combines perfectly with this kind of game.
This game is awesome in a differnt way. You should try it.

A romantic parser novella game., February 14, 2022This game starts very strightforward involving us in the story. The plot is about money, legacy, love and brutality around a masquerade party.
You have to read carefully becouse you have often to answer some y/n questions that will change your life,
As I often write I can tell that this game is about 2 hours long, replayabe, easy, polished with a medium map, several endings.
You can enjoy if you get involved in the plot.

One of the shortest game ever., February 6, 2022This is a very short game: a ten minutes or so. It has three different endings, it's a easy game, well written, almost simulacionist, replayable untill getting all the endings.
This game reminds me "The phantom of the opera" and has a Fallen London flavour becouse of its overtones.

Episode V, January 30, 2022Locked door V: Switched On
The fift episode is here.
After my problems with eposode 4th this one has been easier.
The game grews up in complexity, mapping, puzles and another floor. I am getting more and more intrigated about this game.
It has expanded beyond 10 minutes of gameplay.
As Fabularium 1.5.0 seems to work fine I have added a trancript for curiosity purposes only at Intfiction thread.

The saga continues, January 30, 2022A new episode from this saga.
Now we have some new puzzles, continuing with our adventure.
I see there is no argument given. I don’t know if I am a spy, a goblin or Lucky Skywalker and only know that I have to improve myself episode by episode as in “Groundhog day”.
Well, in this fourth episode I have to try opening a safety and deal with lack of sinonimous of the deaf parser.
So if you have some problems, you can consult the corresponding thread at intfiction.

Growing up the game.... hi Bob!, January 27, 2022Well, this is a good way of spending my time. I am expectate about how the game will go on growing.
At this moment it is a 3 minutes game. Let's see what comes next.
We have now five locations, 2 locked keys and the crate.
Going on unlocking doors., January 27, 2022This game seems to be part of a growing up series where every new episode impulses the development of the story a bit forward. I like this approach to the game idevelopment,
This episode adds an NPC. The iteraction is simple but the conversation lets talking through "ask for" and "ask about", wich is not the standart way. The total lenght and difficulty is low.
Short beyond lunch time., January 27, 2022As Mathbrush said:
"This game is essentially one of the coding examples from the Inform manual. It consists of two rooms, one with a locked door and a key. There are no real surprises; decompiling shows no hidden content.
The game is polished, but is not descriptive, has little interactivity, low emotional impact, and I wouldn't really play again. According to my rating system, it's 1 star."
Additionally I have to say that there is no command to go through that door, there aren't also any cardinal directions available.
Try to create a bit more inmersive games although these will be short ones.
A must play for every adventurer., January 9, 2022I am playing the top rated adventures.
When I started to play this game I thought this was a poor one, but afterwards I enjoyed it a lot.
This game is full of details so it is a simulacionist one. You can try any action you think about.
The map is a cave that you can explore it by yourself. You should EXAMINE exhaustively all names in description so there are objets hidden, more or less.
The puzzles are nicely, coloured and logical. There are several ways to reach some actions.
In the heart of the game there are two NPCs, a pig and a gnome:
Taking the pig is the first task but also is untakeable as a fish. You find the pig rather soon, but you aren't able to catch up it untill later. The pig has its own life and seems that it want to do things in its own exploring all things while standing around you. Also the pig has responses to your actions.
The gnome has a personality, patience, acid humor, resignation, that fits perfectly with Grunk's simpler point of view about life. There are many, many things you can ask the gnome, most of which enrich and has no effect on the game, but several ones are major clues. You have to read carefully. There is fun talking about these lot of topics and you can spend currently a lot of time trying to exhaust the topics.
This is a re-playable game because you earn more point as you do the things in a better way. The game is middle-low difficult and some hours of gameplay.

Foreign Soil revisited, December 20, 2021I wrote some weeks ago that I thought this game was... unfinished. I have finished it now and I have really changed my mind.
This is a good game, intriguing, inmersive, easy, medium lenght and worths a try.
I felt heat in my body and a big refreshing when I found...
... this is your task.
