Nick Neat-Trick-Treat

This is part of the author's series **Prime Pro-Rhyme Row**, all of which are based on looking at the two-word, alliterative name of a room and thinking of a rhyming set of words that are also alliterative.

In this one, you are trick or treating, and encounter various spooky Halloween things on your way to trick or treating.

The games in this series really rise and fall on how responsive they are. Other ones in the series acount for almost all player options; this one, however, is missing a ton of possible rhymes, even ones that make sense (like against the (Spoiler - click to show)twit twins, I would have thought (Spoiler - click to show)wit wins would be a clear choice).

While there have been some great entries in the series (like the original Very Vile Fairy File and the recent Bright Brave Knight Knave), I was glad to see that this might be the last in the series, as the author's newer mechanics in recent games have been, to me, a bit more fun (I liked Why Pout and Roads of Liches).

In any case, though, I found this entertaining. I did get stuck a few times. I thought it was interesting that the protagonist here is constructed as a flawed individual, for instance as someone who can't keep track of the different names of his Asian classmates; that's different than the protagonists of the rest of the series, who tend to be heroic types who grow in self-confidence.
