Plain, sugar-free, no-fat, whipped-creamless, slice of life., October 20, 2010OK, so really it's more of a programming test. You get home, you have to do some things, then shut down your house for the night before you go to bed.
Now, I haven't programmed my own IF game, but I've dabbled in it a few times and, you know, I've got to give Anonymous credit for finishing and releasing this thing.
It's competent. The parser replies aren't *too* snarky, there are "reminder" texts that occur to help keep you on-track and towards your goal. There's even a cute hamster.
My main complaint was that, in order to solve (Spoiler - click to show)"taking out the trash", you had to go to a section that is (to my memory) never mentioned in any other room's description. I mean, I searched for that (Spoiler - click to show)trash can for over 20 minutes, and I don't even think there are 5 rooms in the entire house. It was a very annoying problem that could have been fixed with just one line of description.
So it's probably not a game most need to play.
But I still want to give the author kudos. Kudos for producing this. You did it! You finished a whole game.
