Jailbreak

Una de mis favoritas de la edición. Parte de un contexto clásico y aparentemente anodino de escape de celda para darle uno o dos giros argumentales tan salvajes como acordes al signo de los tiempos. No está exenta de crítica sin descuidar la parte literaria con una prosa concisa pero muy efectiva.

La dificultad es moderada y no debería presentar problemas al jugador medio. Es un gusto meterse y explorar todos los detalles a nuestro alcance con lo que consigue meterte como efecto colateral en la depuración del bucle siniestro.

This is a Spanish-language parser game which is (thankfully, for this non-native speaker) well-implemented and fairly brief.

It has a framing device of being a text adventure generated by an AI (starting with a ‘sure! I can help you with that’ kind of message), and then starts you off in a jail cell as a captured soldier. It becomes a sort of escape room, but a fairly easy one; the hardest thing for me was remembering/looking up spanish parser verbs (at one point I had to use PULSAR instead of EMPUJAR and I’m not sure why).

After the main game, there is a little meta twist, which I thought was great, and enhanced my appreciation of the game. It made the game about twice as long. Then there was a fun message at the end, and it was over.

While AI is mentioned several times in a meta way, the writing didn’t have the negative aspects I associate with AI, and had many positive aspects I associate with the author, who has written several games I enjoy. So I suspect it’s handwritten, but if it’s not it’s well-done regardless.

Mi entrada favorita de la ECTOCOMP 2025.

Un inteligente giro meta a una situación aparentemente sencilla que siembra la sospecha sobre el conjunto y habla del estado terminal de la cultura en la que nos vemos inmersos a día de hoy.
