The one that started it all, September 1, 2008I have seen several people saying that this is the first IF work that they've played, or it is the one that got them hooked.
I count myself amongst them.
I think I downloaded it from Download.com way back around '99~2000, back then there's few free game that is worth playing and when World's Apart came up with high ratings I gave it a chance despite never played an IF in my whole life.
It took me a bit to get to know the commands, but like a good book the world and its inhabitants pulled me in, and I would call the atmosphere of the game "tranquil yet mystic".
I have played many more games from then on, but World's Apart still stood on its own on the strength of the unique world, style and very effective atmosphere/mood.
I thought about giving it a 4, since there's still areas that can be improved, but compared with other IF it stands strong on its own despite its flaws, and extra points for being the first IF I read. 5 it is.
