Ratings and Reviews by Jason Lautzenheiser

I've played this through a few times over the last couple months. Not that there is a ton of reply value with multiple paths or alternative solutions, but really because this is just a fun little diversion, that still give me a few chuckles. I thought it was well written, and perfect for a newcomer to IF. Ending I thought was a bit weak, yet it did fit well with the rest of the game....and who am I to talk, endings can be hard. Nice job.

This showed some promise. The writing wasn't bad, though there were some odd switches between second and third person that were a bit jarring when it happened. Despite that, I was pulled into the story. The narrator was an interesting dynamic to the story as he was a character himself and you could see the conflict and frustration of the narrator when Larry didn't do what he wanted him to. That I enjoyed and added a layer to the story I find it hard to find. I felt though it wasn't complete so the ending was kind of abrupt (unless that was a plot point I just didn't get)

I really enjoyed this one. The atmosphere in this was well done and surprisingly creepy. There was actually one spot where I actually jumped a little. (Spoiler - click to show)Look at the TV in the one room where it's on. The parser was well done too, there were very few times where I was searching for the correct word and many of the words I tried had at least some response. I actually tried breaking the parser to try find some flaws and found very few.

It's truly a shame these weren't completed as I really want to see what happens next. Only reason I gave it four stars is because it is very short and though I want more, I'm left hanging.

Nice job, perhaps the author will come back someday and finish this series.
