>INVENTORY - Paul O'Brian writes about interactive fiction

Overall, I enjoyed TOAB, and while the fiction element of it wasn't so great, its interactivity techniques got me thinking.

A jumbled IFComp game that was a late Walkthrough Comp entry, July 16, 2017
by MathBrush
Related reviews: about 1 hour

WalkthroughComp was done by Emily Short, where she wrote out a telegram of a bizarre walkthrough for a nonexistent game, and then you were to write that game.

This game is one of the biggest responses to that; however, it's too big. The game is full of text dumps, and the environment (inside a VR machine) just veers wildly from genre to genre and location to location.

It must have taken a lot of effort, but it needed more coherence, I think.
