A joke knockoff of a joke knockoff, July 28, 2016

by MathBrush

In 2002, there was an author who became angry at the interactive fiction usenet community. They started trolling the forums, and used several fake accounts to pretend they were starting a company called Santoonie, and that they were working on an incredible game called Amissville for TADS.

The game was released, but was buggy. Someone later made this game, which Santoonie denied ownership of. It's just 4 rooms with one instant death and one way to get trapped in a dark room. It is really poorly done but funny at a few points.

No, this is Barlow from the game and cohort of Santoonie. Honest to God most of those so called fake accounts had nothing to do with us. That CM guy was scary.. no idea who he was, but he completed the game. Braxton Bragg and Fitz Lee were were random trolls that we had no idea who they were.

By the way, I’m serious. I’d like to interview you and try to get it in Sub-Q magazine. If you’re interested e-mail me at [email protected]

I literally just finished playing Lawn of Love ten minutes ago. I’m going to review it as a troll game, because there’s no way to get past the spa and because of the introduction+prologue+preface. Santoonie is a real piece of IFcomp history. You should do an interview for Sub-Q and tell all your secrets.
