What The Babysitter is about is very well depicted in the blurb. The game is addressing players who are either very young or very new to IF. The game world is small (but offers space for exploration), no walls of text, the parser is solid, the content is straightforward - to me the game is a bit boring (hence the three stars), but for the afore-mentioned target groups it's actually quite good I think! Two remarks: The puzzles are somewhat generic, and to progress you need to (Spoiler - click to show)do chores that a babysitter wouldn't normally do.

My playtime was around 15 minutes.

A German text adventure from Olaf Nowacki, known for his slapstick and sometimes dark humour.

Setting: Your office. Not exactly a fresh setting. But: You've been fired, and you're in early. Can be turned into something.

Plot: Take revenge! In the beginning you're just supposed to find some files you can use against your boss, but that soon turns into a rampage.

Game World: Your office. Pretty small, pretty linear. Nice description, but it's really not a lot.

Pros:

• Lots of humour.

Cons:

• Implementation could be improved a bit.

Verdict: A rather small game, but full of funny and sometimes absurd situations. Office workers can relate.
