Warning: This is not a game, but rather a short story. Nothing to accomplish. I'd give it one star only usually, but...

It's amusing.

You should not be allergic to Greek mythology and cheap innuendos to enjoy it in a similar way. Especially not to cheap innuendos. It's a ten minute read, so there's nothing to lose here. It's trashy, but it has a heart.

EXODUS: Climate Activist is a CYOA game about a teenager finding his meaning in life by trying to join a militant environmental group. It plays like it was written by a teenager thinking he could find his meaning in life by trying to join a militant environmental group. Be a lone wolf! Get the hot chick anyway! Break out of your dull teenager life! Be a hero!

If you're a fan of Troma movies this might be a four star game for you. I'm not yet convinced it's satire so I'll give it two.

Bad Beer is a mixed bag - I enjoyed it a lot for reasons depicted below, and I found it to be inferior due to reasons depicted below. In short: It's short.

Plus:
The setting is refreshing: A British pub. Some old school homebrew (...) games play in that setting, but trust me, this one's fresh.
The story triggered my curiosity. All of a sudden the beer in your favourite pub tastes horrible. Something supernatural? Investigate!
The room descriptions are atmospheric.

Minus:
It's really short! Basically it's one puzzle. So sad!
For me, the end didn't explain a lot of what was going on. I could vaguely retell you the story in general, but what exactly has been happening, remains a mystery to me.
Given it's so short - a bit more of implementation would have been fine. Some additional topics to talk to the NPCs about, a few more items to examine... And one or two additional puzzles of course!
