I am sitting on the edge of my seat. Smoking a cigarette for the experience I have just had. Robin, you are by far one of the greatest authors of Text Adventures I have ever seen. Keep it up. We need more people like Robin Johnson to maybe open this genre to a large audience. Not to full of himself and not to stuffy. Five stars.
I liked it. Now, I'm not one for writing reviews, but to simply put it is an amazing work of art. Far better then anything else written in this genre.
Now, this has to be one of the few games that are more like a choose your own adventure. Which I always loved as a child, flipping through the pages, finding out my decision would end up killing the main character. Then quickly turning back to my last page as if nothing happening. It's a fun genre, if done right, and this game it is done right. I found myself playing this for more than an hour when my son was away at my parents for a few days. Truly a classic of our time.
I love these old type them in yourself forgotten classics. Old games like these always make me miss the days of yore. Now, the story is the typical run of the mill stories one would expect in this sorta game. Give it a try.
One of a handful of games I've played that I was genuinely dedicated to complete. It's a joyous breath of fresh air and I highly recommend everyone give this one a shot.
Smart, well written, and made me feel as if I was really there. Truly a wonderful gem in a sea of fish.
