Concept affascinante, ma poco altro, May 6, 2023

L'idea e l'ambientazione sono molto originali, tra il nonsense ed il dark humor; anche la longevità è buona ed apprezzo lo sforzo per costruire enigmi articolati e complessi nello stile delle vecchie avventure grafiche.
Il problema è che mancano una buona storia e/o dei protagonisti carismatici a tenere insieme il tutto e quindi molti puzzle mancano di logica e l'esperienza risulta dispersiva e a tratti frustrante.

A forgotten classic; a huge, 666-point romp through bureaucratic hell, April 26, 2016

This game was released in 1993. a year that saw several significant advances in interactive fiction. Perdition's Flames is one of the largest TADS games available, going up to 666 points in increments ranging from less than 10 points to 50.

You arrive in hell on a boat to discover that it's been improving it's image and applying for environmental disaster contracts to clean up hell so they can compete with heaven. But you don't like heaven or hell; you want adventure!

But adventure requires a series of magical protective amulets, the search for which occupies the bulk of the game.

This game is devilish, with some puzzles that are quite difficult. They are very inventive and fun, however. Perhaps the best sequence of the game is a detour to a haunted house (haunted by you!) where you have to get a silver ring that you can only barely nudge with your ghost fingers, all while being chased by a priest and the media.

This is just about as good as it gets for big, old-school puzzle tests, so if you're a fan of Zork, the Enchanter games, or Curses!, you should definitely check this out.

Entertaining, family-friendly game, November 22, 2007
by puzzler (Everett, Washington)

There are some very clever puzzles in this game. The haunted house puzzle is particularly memorable. I had played this game years ago, and played it again recently with my kids. They loved it, because it's very funny and you can't get stuck or killed.
