This is a pretty bad game, and I'm guessing that's because it's one of the first attempts at a game by the designer.
I'd give it 1-star for the plot, which isn't so much as mentioned until the very end of the game, where it is delivered in a bunch of uninteractive exposition. But it ekes out two stars because the bar scene in the first half of the game which is lively and humorous, with eye-rolling dialogue. I particularly like that you are kind of left on your own during it without being pushed in one direction or the other. I think if the bar had been filled up with more to do and that had been the entire game, this could have been a 4-star game.
But eventually you go home, are optionally given a fairly uninteresting sex scene/dream sequence and then find yourself in another sort of text adventure entirely in which you mush just get from A to B and in which there is only a single puzzle and it's really bad. it's the sort you'd expect in something like a lucas arts or discworld game.
But this designer definitely improves. I'm mostly reviewing this because I liked his later games and wanted to play the rest of them.
