I'm going to make it clear from the start: I generally struggle when it comes to playing long works of IF. This is because I'm usually too busy to be able to devote a lot of time to a game.
The trouble is that often short games are less polished and less well implemented, putting me thus in a puzzling dilemma.
That's why I'm always pleasantly gratified whenever a topnotch short text-based game is released. Such as this one!
"The Roscovian Palladium" may not be a challenging game, but it made up for all that by being entertaining, witty and smoothly implemented. The ending is surprisingly satirical and is as rewarding as the punchline of a good joke.
