The comedy falls flat, November 17, 2016This game aims for humor through absurdity and exaggeration, and it's hit or miss--mostly miss. The game tells you in the introduction that "There are no flies in the air, but that is only because they have all passed out on the floor.", and indeed when the game starts there are flies on the floor (which "look highly dehydrated")--a nice touch. I was amused, too, that when the cat flies onto your face, your inventory describes it as "a cat (being worn)". On the other hand, the description of the bar as "A minibar. Just a minibar. Not a spaceship. Not a portal to another world. Not... well, you get the idea." falls a bit flat, as do most of the other jokes in the game. Was this review helpful to you?

See Rogue of the Multiverse, for example - where this device forces you to imagine the game world as looking directly from the eyes of the PC, to feel really there, trapped inside the facility; not looking at the PC and the facility from somewhere above (which, in this game, is a privilege of the antagonist). Also Hunter, in Darkness, a classic short game by Andrew Plotkin. |
