Frankenfingers

In this game, you play as a severed hand that has regained the sentience and motility its owner once had, due perhaps to the experiments of Dr Frankenstein and his assistant Igor. As a hand, you have low mobility and can only carry one item at a time.

Your goals are to explore and to try to figure out how you returned and what to do now. Along the way, the map opens up a bit and you're able to explore more of your world.

Also, all static descriptions are written in poem form, while varying text (such as for dropped items) and conversations are written in prose. The poetry often as ABAB structure and sometimes ABCB, and a few times has some internal rhymes as well, I think. I think that it was done pretty well, and that it (perhaps unintentionally) helps to highlight most important items (excluding some scenery), kind of like how in old 2d animation, objects that would move later in a scene were a different color from objects that were always part of the background.

Most of the puzzles are well-clued and smooth. There were a few instances of small bugs that caused me problems, and I ended up being locked out of victory due to a timer on an item, but I messaged the author about the bugs. I do recommend saving often just in case.

I couldn't really figure out the tone of the game, as it varies from mildly comedic or slightly dark humor to fairly gruesome to heartfelt. I felt like the overall plot arc was narratively satisfying and that overall it was a good story.
