This is just an opiniated and propaganda piece of shit trying to pass for a game in quiz format.

I did enjoy the name of the author trying to mimick that crazy japanese dev Suda.

btw, the correct answer for 4 should've been "ever since turning into a nation of whiny crackhead kids treating everything as a game"

I believe Lost Pig is the ultimate IF for beginners. When you're new to it, you could care less for story, setting, good prose or well rounded characters: all of that takes second place to just poking around and reading the fun responses to your inconsequential actions, even as senseless and puerile actions such as taking the moon. IF Beginners love to act like a dumbass of sorts and Grunk indeed is a spot-on character depicting just that level of caveman thinking intelligent people seem to resort to when first confronted with IF. As satire, Lost Pig works great. As a game, it's a highly polished short title, a zanny first foray into IF.

Some think it helps draw people into IF and kind of glorify it. I don't think the kind of people who immenselly enjoyed all of its well implemented whackyness around a simple goal would be willing to play a more serious IF title where you're required to behave and think as the protagonist would and, thus, being told that most of your senseless actions don't work as that first title promised. Thus, the one IF marvel for short-attention-span people who'll never come back for more.

Plenty of procedural generation seemingly of places to explore to find items to feed into the mainframe to explore more and rinse and repeat. Bland prose (hopefully generated too, but guess not) in a stereotypical something-went-wrong-in-the-space-station-and-youre-amnesic. yawn...

if someone wants a more interesting game with similar setting, try Babel, by Ian Finley in his teens...
