Editorial Reviews
>INVENTORY - Paul O'Brian writes about interactive fiction
Outside of its thinness and its rather improbable puzzle solutions, History Repeating hangs together pretty well. It’s got a fun premise, solid coding, and error-free writing. It’s reasonably sized, and reasonably enjoyable, thanks to the walkthrough. It feels like the work of beginners, but beginners who are dedicated to creating a quality game. Overall I think it could have used a round or two of testing and then implementing better feedback to what the testers try, but the nature of the comp deadline tends to preclude that sort of thing all too often. If I saw another entry by these authors, I’d be interested to play it, and hope that they’d learned from history rather than just repeating it.

A time travel high school game, July 24, 2016This is a mid-length ifcomp game about time travel. You go back to your high school so that you can change your boring future.
The game is well-polished, but not very descriptive. You wander about, investigating different rooms. I had some issues with guessing commands.
It lasts about an hour.
