 Iconic, December 15, 2021by mutehorn Anchorhead is probably my most favorite IF game ever, and I’ve been playing text games since the days of Zork. It’s got great writing, a compelling story and more or less realistic interactions (vs abstract), and there’s no sense of feeling annoyed, pressured for time, feeling lost or overwhelmed, etc. it’s the closest thing to a perfect IF game in my opinion.

Why improve on perfection?, December 7, 2020So I played the original Anchorhead the year it came out, and then just finished the 2018 Steam release on my Mac ten minutes ago. It's a GREAT game in the Lovecraft mythos. So much so that I never forgot it, and was pleasantly surprised to discover the reboot. Plotwise, this is a strong game, with excellent pacing and deep details to discover. The main character is somewhat anonymous, compared to the thorough exploration of her husband's entire family, but this game is more about the player's effort than any characterologic development. The game is very, very well written and the parser has been thoroughly programmed, with only extremely rare "guess the correct verb" moments (Spoiler - click to show)Don't "hit" the web with the broom.
