A very short game about a strange search engine, June 3, 2016*
by verityvirtue (London)
Related reviews: choleric

Time to completion: 5-10 minutes

Boogle riffs on Google default messages and online ads to create a creeping sense of dread. The eponymous search engine is an NPC in its own right, which directs your search results to serve its own purposes. It's a mood piece more than a game, really; the story is not particularly fleshed out, but the idea is so very creepy.

This game deserves a mention of multimedia, because it makes ingenious use of otherwise basic Twine functions to replicate familiar sights.

A short, creepy google simulator for halloween, June 30, 2017*
Related reviews: less than 15 minutes

In this game, you have a 'brand new' google engine that's spooky: Boogle.

You find out that boogle is more than you expected, in a fairly funny and gruesome sort of way. The surprises are the best part, so I won't describe it much more. Good fun-to-time ratio.

Specifically, works where the main mechanic is either exploring a in-game digital interface(ala Secret Little Haven) or communicating using a type of chat/text messenger system(think Emily is Away).
