Satisfying puzzles, engaging story, long but somewhat sparsely implemented, March 9, 2014by Doug Orleans (Somerville, MA, USA) Caveat: I still haven't finished this game...

Comments on this reviewPrevious | << 1 >> | Next The Custodian, March 25, 2014 - Reply Many thanks for playing VoS! I'm working on release 3 right now, taking these and some other points from IFMud folks to heart - trimming the map, fixing some guess-the-verb things, adding a bit of functionality and etc. The fiction links don't go to my stories (Hm, actually, maybe a couple are mine) but to stories from E2 authors. Cheers. Doug Orleans, March 31, 2014 - Reply Cool, thanks! I will try out the new version. The game has a Forgiveness Rating of "Cruel" here-- is that accurate? Is it possible to get into a unwinnable state without knowing it? The Custodian, April 1, 2014 - Reply Yes, it is, I had to be honest. There are a few edge cases that make the game unwinnable (mostly around one-use items or irreversible actions). I'm trying to weed out those cases so that they at least warn you, but I don't think I'm 100% there. Nearly all of them apply to later parts of the game, though - the 'starting area puzzle' is pretty forgiving, and in any case it's obvious if you haven't solved it.
