Una obra ambiguamente magistral, December 2, 2025

La viñeta temporal que se nos muestra tiene una gran atmósfera y ambiente con detalles realistas que capturan agudamente el ethos y la tensión política que se vivía en aquellos años. La actitud de nuestro avatar tiene un contexto ocultista que se nos escapa y el juego deja en nuestras manos acabar de definir su sentido.

Uno de los grandes aciertos de esta obra es el llamativo paralelismo entre el feed intoxicante de las redes sociales o el bombardeo increíblemente violento y unidireccional de los medios por un lado, y por otro nuestra supuesto papel de peón de un poder superior que, sin embargo, no deja de contrastar con la libertad que poseemos y con la ambigüedad de la situación.

De entre las aventuras de parser cortas, esta es mi favorita por el modo en que se concentra tal densidad de sentido en una escena de unos pocos turnos.

La cantidad de detalles y la calidad de la escritura está a otro nivel.

A well-implemented small scenario with thriller and occult elements, November 2, 2022
Related reviews: less than 15 minutes

As a non-native speaker, I appreciated this game, since it was well-implemented, suggested verbs in the text that can be used (like "Montando el kit se construye un..."), and is a tightly-contained one-room scenario which limits possibilities to a reasonable amount.

The idea is that you are in a building watching a newly-born political party (the Party of the Future) holding a rally. Something odd is going on, as people and buildings around you demonstrate if you watch them closely. On the bed is a suitcase containing a disassembled rifle.

This game is short, but it had a couple of twists I didn't expect. It has one main puzzle, which I think is pretty fair. I decompiled it to figure it out, but even then it didn't give it away, I still had to think about it. I really liked the writing in this game, too, it was terse vivid and descriptive with its few details.
