Mr. Leg woke up in the middle of the night. Help him get some milk. One puzzle. Extremely short.
This experimental game was made in an hour and a half. The game is in first person and intentionally uses a childish, all-lowercase, grammatically incorrect minimalist narrative style.

Very short but adorable game. (Spoiler - click to show)It's got a friendly cow in it, which automatically makes it worth checking out.
It's just a pity the author didn't replace the default responses -- with the game's childish unpunctuated style, being suddenly confronted with "I am carrying nothing." or "That's not a verb I recognise." jars one out of the mood.
Extremely short game with 1 easy puzzle.
It would be interesting to see the protagonist in another adventure.
It’s late at night and mr. leg can’t sleep. Solution: find milk.
This is an extremely short Inform game. Lunch break game? More like a snack break game. Acquiring the milk involves one puzzle.
(Spoiler - click to show)We seek out eulalia, a cow who lives in a tree and is also our friend.
>talk to eulalia
we are friends, don't need words
Precious.
The author nailed the prose. The lowercase letters and grammar effectively convey the uncomplicated world of mr.leg. I was impressed with the minimalist approach and how it informs the narrative and gameplay. The peaceful nighttime ambience was memorable, along with the cover art.
In conclusion, mr. leg needs some milk demonstrates what can be achieved when you focus on only cultivating what you need to tell the story. Whether this succeeds is often hit or miss, but the author of this game makes it work.

Milking by CMG
After playing Hard Puzzle by Ade McT, which centers around assembling a "milking stool" under rather sinister circumstances, it struck me how odd it can be to feature milking in a game. This poll is for any games that include or...

My 10 year old twins recently "discovered" IF. They fell in love with Grunk and are asking for more games to play. I've searched BAF and have some ideas, but figured I would give this poll a shot since there are hundreds and hundreds of...
