An all-time favorite, May 15, 2021by vinceren (sweet california) This is lovely in its lyricism. An excellent pick for someone new to IF as well as having a lot of replay value. (Spoiler - click to show)I have discovered five endings (Bang, Boom, Drowned, Ergotism, and Fungus), but do not rule out the possibility that there are more. Was this review helpful to you?

Hallucinated reality, August 31, 2020by Victor Gijsbers (The Netherlands) Lime Ergot is a short game, but makes the most of its premise. You are one of only two surviving officers of a colonial military force; the other being the black-hearted and possibly insane general, who orders you to make her a drink. The game's central task is to find the ingredients for this drink. But rather than traversing a physical space through movement, we traverse a partially sensory and at least partially hallucinated space through use of the examine command. Examining things not only leads us from one object to others that were not initially described; rather, by making things present to our mind, it gives them reality and allows us to physically manipulate them. A fascinating mechanic that is combined with beautiful, evocative prose and a great atmosphere. A little gem. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Drink: Green Skull. Next ingredient: 1 reviewer, whole., June 23, 2019The colony is in ruins, the fleet is gone, and only you and your general are left. She wants a cocktail, and it's up to you to find the ingredients to make it. The problem is, you can't actually move. Or can you? Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Excellent SpeedIF that plays with parser conventions, June 15, 2018by Harry Coburn (Atlanta, GA) SpeedIF is an interesting beast. Most have an interesting idea at their core but poor execution due to the time constraints. But then a lime-green gem like this comes along that feels coherent and complete. I rather enjoyed this game. Found two endings. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Great hallucinatory speed IF. Examine things that you then examine, etc., February 3, 2016I've heard many people talk about Lime Ergot, but I had no idea what it was about. It was an EctoComp 2014 game, so it had to be written in 3 hours, although it has since been updated. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Ingenious mechanic, unsettling atmosphere, May 8, 2015by verityvirtue (London) You and the general are the last ones left on the island of St Stellio, and she wants adrink. You’re the lower-ranking officer, so it’s up to you to get the drink done. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

—in the ::::: lime ::::: light :::::, January 28, 2015The most frightening of the Ectocomp 2014 games that I've played so far, Lime Ergot creates a genuinely unsettling atmosphere for all the beauty of its tropical setting. The game's main NPC, the General, doesn't do or say much but she nonetheless exerts a terrifying power. Note: this rating is not included in the game's average. Was this review helpful to you?

An indolent fever dream, January 20, 2015by CMG (NYC) In this game you never move. You see and remember and hallucinate. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
