About the Story
In this fantasy game, you play as a man named George waking up in someone else's bedroom and wearing unfamiliar clothes. Memories return slowly of drinking at a party, meeting a stunningly beautiful woman named Julia, leaving with her in her car, somehow arriving at an island beach in a far-away empire, making love, learning magic is real, and learning that she wants you to kill an evil sorcerer on her lands.

This game has a lot of bad signs; typos/grammar errors, the plot is literally 'destroy the evil sorcerer', random text dumps happen.
But it actually seems pretty original later on; there are several NPCs, a house with an unusual layout, an island to wander around, and an unexpected story.
I had to read the accompanying transcript, but I liked this in the end.

>INVENTORY - Paul O'Brian writes about interactive fiction
Somehow, the whole thing seemed to be the product of some fairly surface thinking. As a result, I never felt particularly immersed in the game. It's not that it was terribly offensive or outright bad, but its various problems and its by-the-numbers nature kept me at arm's length. Given that these were more or less the exact criticisms leveled at my first game, I understand very well how they can happen, and I'm optimistic that the author's next work can build on this game's strengths while addressing its weaknesses.
