Hey Ho, Let's Go, January 18, 2013 Ecdysis actually has the honour of being my first IF I've ever played.
So let's get all the bad stuff out first.
The games is short. Too short and too narrow, it doesn't have a lot of choices, so the player can't help but to feel a little caged in the game, although we can count that as a plus. The style used in the writing is far for good, but it's not a lot too, so I don't want to come as so judgemental. It would have been nicer if the prologue was a little bigger, so the player can immerse himself a little more before the weird kicks in.
This said, I gave the game a 4 star rating.
Mostly because of the verb "remember". When I clicked that I can use it, it's introduction seemed really subtle and nice and I like the direction I took things, since it was a nice vehicle to explore more of the game's world.
Although I said that the writing was far from bad I can still give it some credit as being just off enough to be able to set the tone just about right. It's really a shame that the game is this short. Just a couple of more scenes and the story would've been much better.
Thanks for the trip!
