Interesting interpretation of beauty and the beast, February 18, 2016by Solana (Hong Kong) Bronze is my first IF game and I think as a complete newbie to IF Bronze is really easy to handle and provides really good instructions/hints to guide me throughout the game. I really like the spooky environment and as the game go on the creepiness got yet not too much to scare me off. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Nearly perfect introduction to IF for brand-new beginners, November 19, 2015by beladee This was one of the first IF games I ever played, and after playing several others I was impressed with the implementation of the hint system in this delightful game. I say it was 'nearly perfect' because I feel it was a little too hard for me in the second half even with the generated hints (which occasionally didn't actually make sense to the problem at hand) and I had to resort to the walkthrough that the author posted. Thanks for posting a walkthrough! I loved the writing and I was happy to hear the end of the story even if I ultimately had to admit defeat to the puzzles. Was this review helpful to you?

Finely crafted recounting of a well-known fairytale, January 19, 2015by Amphiareion You are Beauty in this retelling of the classic story. Something is amiss in the Beast's castle when you return after an absence, and your actions on exploring the castle (and discovering it as player of course) lead to a potential resolution of the Beast's condition.

Wonderful game, January 8, 2013by Greevesie An extremely dark take on the traditional story. Loved the atmosphere created and it is one of the few games where I haven't wanted to skip over parts of the writing. Well done! You had me hooked! Was this review helpful to you?

A more mature fairy tale, December 23, 2012by Andromache (Hawaii) I'm revisiting this game after a hiatus from interactive fiction and it is still a good story. Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairy tale, so when I saw this was inspired by it, I had to play it. The first screen drew me in and gave me a clue right away that this heroine, while just as determined and sensible as the Beauty of the fairy tale, was not necessarily pining for her family or even that devoted to them. Much like Metamorphoses, there are multiple endings which allow for roleplay of the protagonist in some very unconventional ways. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

In the best traditions of the adventure game genre., November 30, 2012by Christiaan The story of Bronze is a twist on the well-known fairy tale of Beauty & the Beast. You are "Beauty" and have returned to the castle. But all is not well. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Amazing, touching game, April 23, 2012by juliana This is my first Emily Short game, but most certainly not my last. Having grown up with zork and the like, I had a certain point of view about IF -- fun, challenging, occaisionally witty. Emily definitely widened my horizons by delivering an IF game where the author cared as much about the 'Fiction' as she did about the 'Interactive.' Extremely well written story unfolds as you progress thru the game, making your quest meaningful and personal. In game hints have the perfect amount of reveal, without spoiling it all. Not only an easily mappable world, but once you've been somewhere, you can get back with one command. Also works for finding objects you have already seen. This completely bypasses the crazy, time-consuming travel back and forth between rooms, allowing the quest and the story to take precedence. I highly, HIGHLY recommend.

EXCELLENT, February 27, 2012by brandonmack this is by far one of the best games I have ever played. It made me think, and re-evaluate what I knew of this classic fairy tale. I spent a lot of time going back and forth (which is so easy in this one!) trying to solve all of the puzzles, searching for clues, it's genius! I simply couldn't put it down.

An excellent piece of work.... but somehow unsatisfying., January 4, 2012by diddlescatter (US) After hearing so much about Bronze, I was expecting a very satisfying and pleasurable experience. This was not the case for me. I played the game through over the course of an afternoon and, although I did enjoy exploring the map and working through the puzzles, I found myself disappointed at the end. I came away feeling like the entire experience was rather hollow and somewhat forced. The game is user-friendly enough, and it's definitely a great beginner's game in many ways. But the execution of the plot feels a little rushed and the meta-puzzle felt anticlimactic. It was as if, even as I did my own exploring, I was being spoon-fed the story without getting to discover it on my own. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Loved it, September 5, 2011I loved this game. The navigation system is brilliant. I wish all games had exit options in the upper right corner! The story was great; literally out of a storybook. The hint system was also very helpful because it gave just the right amount of nudging. I thought this game was beautifully crafted and entertaining throughout. Was this review helpful to you?
