A New Favorite, August 25, 2014

Though perhaps not as a game, per se, but as a work of fiction. For me, it holds tension and atmosphere throughout, and it doesn't fall into the typical Lovecraftian IF trope of decaying toward the end with some monster appearing (a move which is not particularly horror-inducing in almost all cases, even in better games). At least, it didn't in my ending. I was also pleasantly surprised at how naturally the experience played out - I never felt like I was guessing the verb at any point, rather behaved completely naturally for the situation, and the parser responded nicely. I didn't follow the commands in the early part of the game, and I still almost always got responses to what I would do naturally in the situation.

All in all, I found this surprisingly good, and it's one of the better Lovecraftian IF, in my book.
