Baf's Guide


Schizophrenic in the extreme: in the first half of the game, you're at a bar trying to pick up chicks, but in the second half, you're a grave robber. It's not clear whether the sole reason for this is to provide for some dreadful jokes in the first half--e.g., you tell some of the women in the bar that you hang around with a bunch of stiffs--or whether there was something more to it, but the two halves really don't belong together. The other problem is that you're one of the jerks of the title, and it's hard to get all excited about being someone as thoroughly repellent as you are here. (There are hints at there being something more to you than sheer jerkishness, but they're not well developed.) The writing isn't bad, and it's almost poetic in places, but the author hasn't put his writing skills to their best use here. The competition release was extremely buggy; the latest release is cleaned up, though the split personality remains.
