Take

The style of writing was good and there was certainly a novelty to the game.
However, after a few minutes I found I could just type (Spoiler - click to show)Take Amy a few times (or something similar) and the plot just seemed to unfold without needing to read any of it. Then an error message kept popping up saying: Runtime problem P22, failing to find something in a lookup table.
The game quickly came to an end where it offered me a chance to type (Spoiler - click to show)WIN which I did, and with a couple of moves the game was over.
Sorry, this just didn't do it for me.
The over-restricted parser - novel as this particular 'take' on that may be - detracted from the interaction and game side of it with the result that I quickly lost any desire to go back and try it out further.

Morayati is known for writing polished, inventive games. This game proved to be popular and a big talking point for the comp.

It's a gladiatorial game, where instead of fighting, you write 'hot takes' about your fight. An embedded monitor records how well the audience responds.

The game has a darker metaphorical meaning, and draws a lot of its intensity from that.

A game that, perhaps, everyone should play. There's a lot to talk about here.
