Four Seconds

by Jason Reigstad

Horror, Science Fiction
1999

About the Story

"Tria leans back against the table and says, "I've heard that in the last few seconds you don't see your life pass before your eyes, but the world that you've built from what you've accomplished. This is how you know your heaven...or your hell."" [-- blurb from Competition '99]

Off-Site Reviews

SynTax
While 4 Seconds is an intriguing idea worthy of 50's science fiction, the story is rather tenuously held together around this mind reading vehicle and would probably have worked better without the psychic sleuth altogether. Trig has sold himself a bit short on this one as the whole thing is let down by poor implementation and testing.

>INVENTORY - Paul O'Brian writes about interactive fiction

It is very, very buggy, and heavily burdened with grammar and spelling errors as well. If you don't use the walkthrough, you will find lots of bugs. In fact, there are even a few bugs in the walkthrough itself. If you type "info" or "about" in the game, you'll find an apology from the author for the bugginess of the game. This is something for which I have zero patience. If you know your game is buggy, fix it. Fix it before you ask people to play it. Don't waste my time.
