TimeSquared Chapter One: Centroplis

SynTax
A prime example of what NOT to do with the Adventure Game Toolkit. TimeSquared could have been quite good, there are some nice ideas, but unfortunately it is too frustrating, too difficult and has too many bugs! I do hate it when a programmer doesn't bother to playtest his game, don't you?

The game's writing and plot overcome many of the parser's flaws. Author Bert Lee manages to create a futuristic world that, although not all that profound or thought-provoking, is quite vivid and populated with an array of intriguing, albeit underdeveloped, characters. Among the more significant are the quirky and ever-nameless superintendent; the Bankjxes, a family of extraterrestrials who live in the same apartment complex as you; and especially Gmurr, your Denebian companion, who is brought to you at the start of the game in a larval state (just add water!) by a mysterious delivery man. Curiously, another character named Dr. Grace is briefly mentioned, but his holophone number isn't recognized, leading me to believe he never made it to the final version of the game, although not all traces of his prior existence were cleaned up.
