In this game you play an orc named Grunk who has been sent to find the lost pig that escaped from the farm he works at. I first played this game in middle school and just recently replayed it as an adult and I enjoyed it just as much as I did the first time. The fact that the story is told directly from Grunk's point of view makes the game ten times more hilarious. I recommend trying every command you can think of because trust me, you will get hilarious responses back for most of them. I also like the fact that the game has puzzles which can be solved by using various objects within the cave. Overall, I think this is a great, humorous game that is perfect for both beginners and experienced IF players alike.

In this game you play a baby trying to keep your favorite toy away from your evil red-haired rival, Zoe. It's cute, it's fun, and the interactions between the characters are hilarious, particularly the way the babies act. I played this game as a kid and recently played it again now that I'm an adult, and I found myself appreciating the dynamic between the parent characters as well. Overall, very cute and amusing game, a good one to play if you want something light-hearted that has a few puzzles.

In this game you play as a contestant on a reality show, searching for valuables inside the Sugarlawn mansion and around the plantation property. Overall, I quite enjoyed it; it's Adventure but if Adventure was a reality show, essentially. It is short, but has replayability as it is pretty hard to get a good score the first time. Overall I really liked the concept and the game itself. One question though: Why a chicken costume?

This game is about someone living on the Moon who spends most of their time playing video games and is responsible for making sure their new tour group, who are the creators of the game, have a great time while on the Moon. A lot of people seem to really love this game, and I'm not saying I hated it. There were lots of things about it that I liked, like the fact that your character is customizable, and the character interactions. But I don't really understand what the message is supposed to be. Maybe I'm just too stupid to get it? I don't know. But overall whatever the game was trying to convey was just kind of lost on me; I played it to the end several times and was still confused. It does raise some interesting questions, but ultimately, I mostly just found it difficult to understand. Nice atmosphere and fun character interactions though, so there's that.

This is a story about a homeschooled girl preparing for the spelling bee. There are four different endings and it was written using Varytale, which I had never heard of prior to playing this game. Overall, I found the style a bit confusing, and it was repetitive at times, but this girl's story dideally resonate with me as it explores loneliness, a family dynamic that feels real, and the girl's struggle to figure out who she is as she grows up in a very sheltered environment. A very well told story that I ultimately replayed so that I could get all four endings.

This is a game in which you play a girl named Bridget at summer camp, having weird dreams about birds that are more interested than they should be in how society works. Overall, it was a strange concept, but somehow Brendan Patrick did make it work. I especially liked the plot twist (don't worry, I won't spoil it for you.) But I did feel that the dialogue was a bit unrealistic at times. I get that that's part of the humor, but there were a few points in the game where it just felt more awkward than anything. I know some of that is done for humor, but it's just a personal pet peeve of mine, probably because I get secondhand embarrassment extremely easily. That small complain aside, I do still think it's fun and definitely interesting.
