Ratings and Reviews by Ogre

This is a really fun story, despite it being a horror. The author writes quite well and also lets you know when you're making a critical choice as opposed to one that's not going to have as much as an effect. While some people won't like that breaking of immersion, I find in this case it is quite nice and informative. And there are enough options and choices that you can really feel like you're playing a different story each time, which makes the replayability score high.

Ok, there's not a lot here. This probably isn't really interactive fiction, though I don't want to start an argument over what REALLY qualifies as OG interactive fiction. Instead, this is just a quiz, but it is still interesting.

Basically, this quiz asks you 12 questions. What makes it interesting is that each question has a large variety of answers, not just two or three to pick from. After you answer all the questions, you get a quite comprehensive interpretation of your answers. So it only takes a few minutes, so head on over, answer some questions, and get your fortune read!

Yes, this is a choose your own story... but it's also a dungeon explorer. The options you choose from are just related to defeating the monsters and making process towards the bigger prizes and even bigger monsters. If you're looking for an involved story with character development, this isn't the story for you (unless your mind wanders a lot while killing things). But if you want to hack and slash your way through hundreds of monsters on your way to glory, this is where you want to be!

Sure, this isn't a massive, 100,000-word story that will suck you in and keep you interested for days. But it is a little world where you can spend some time, solve a puzzle or two, and be entertained (I hope). Try not to get too sidetracked at the start, the story will let you lose sight of the goal completely if you're not focused at all. The puzzles aren't too hard, but one takes some good reading comprehension to get through. I do hope you enjoy this one, I had fun writing it.

I know some people who play and read these types of game today aren't a fan of this type of game. But really, this one did start it all. I played, learned, and liked the original two-word parser.

Really, even if you've read and played a lot of other types of IF, you really should find a way to play this one. Sure, it's a simple parser, but the adventure is fantastic. No, there's no huge storyline. But finding your way around and learning your way through this massive cave just can't be beat. Try it. Really.
