Good fun!, October 15, 2019This game is the first parser I’ve ever played, so it felt rather different, but engaging instantly.
You proceed by picking and typing in a rhyme to something on the passage. I’m glad I had a walkthrough, otherwise I’d have found this game extremely difficult to play, considering that English is not my first language. But, having it, I could simply enjoy the smoothly-flowing and humorous narrative.
The multiple locations and characters are depicted with great imagination. The slightly absurd nature of this world, and its reliance on word play, is reminding of Alice in Wonderland.
At times I laughed out loud, but there also was a serious message hidden between the lines that I liked just as much. A top rating well-deserved!
