Review
This game is a hefty Inform 7 parser game set in a bunker city in the planet of Venus, with a horribly dystopian government where the greatest good is turning in others to the government.
The game involves numerous factions and parties (with different endings depending on which of two you support) and crossing and doublecrossing.
There's a lot of death, too. This PC's bodycount is one of the highest in games in recent years.
The game is very open in nature, with many actions being able to happen in any order. This leads to a lot of freedom, but makes the early part of the game fairly overwhelming. The hint system is also all available at once, due to the non-linear nature, and it can be difficult to find what you're looking for.
Overall, the game simply needs more polishing, but it is a good game at core, and is one worth having made.
One thing I struggled with quite a bit was the directions, which are INWARD, OUTWARD, LEFT, and RIGHT. It was hard to abbreviate these, as L means 'look' and IN and OUT map to inform's Inside and Outside directions. To be honest, I would have preferred the author just used the standard Inside and Outside directions and made Inward and Outward synonyms for them.
Giving 3 stars for now but would be happy to bump up if an update is made in the future.
