Dreary Lands

>INVENTORY - Paul O'Brian writes about interactive fiction

There are lots of different ways to write a bad comp game... I’ve played all the flavors, many times over, but sometimes I get fooled as to which is which. Dreary Lands, for example, looks at first like it’s going to be a surreal Rybread whirlwind, but turns out to be a first game not only broken in English and puzzles but also seemingly attempting some clumsy evangelism as well.
