Games with flavor text - an IFDB Poll
by OverThinking
RSS FeedI'm looking for games where background events and flavor text appear frequently, independently of the player's actions. Maybe there's wind blowing around objects, or someone's making a lot of noise in the kitchen. Bonus points for breadth and depth of flavor text and/or responsive implementation

Shore, Shin, Wade Clarke, Zach Hodgens, Zack Johnson 2 votes "Several of the locations have flavor text" [+]"Several of the locations have flavor text: This is a great game and several of the co-authors uses flavor text. My only niggle which is understandable considering how this game was made, is that there are a lot of e.g. cutting instruments but puzzles which require cutting require a specific tool. But considering the size of this game, I think that this is certainly acceptable." --Denk... (No comment) [+](No comment) ( ) --Max Fog...  Vote for this game | |
