A wildly inventive game with graphic content, February 3, 2016by MathBrush Shrapnel messes with your head and with IF conventions in very creative ways. It starts out in typical Zorkian fashion (standing west of a white house) and quickly degenerates into bizarreness. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Nor are they used as a cheap shorthand for "see how horrible this villain is" (a criticism that has been levelled against Cadre's use of rape in Varicella). As for swearing, I can't even remember it, but I suspect it was appropriate in the context. This is, for all intents and purposes, a horror game: if it upsets you, it's doing its job. The only thing that offended me about this game was (Spoiler - click to show)the fellow from the future with his annoying future-slang. That character added a glib, pat note to the story. Quite frankly, I would have enjoyed the game a lot more if the entire situation had been left unexplained.
