Complete L33T Garbage, June 10, 2010

by Bernie (Fredericksburg, VA)

The opening description is: "U R N THE FR0NT YARD 0F A LARGE ABAND0NED VICTR0N H0USE. ST0NE STEPS LEAD UP 2 A W1DE PR0CH"

Sadly, I played a few turns anyway. Might as well give the game a fair shot, right? Besides, I've never seen a "Pr0ch" before. I walked through a few rooms and found a few dead bodies outside. When I typed "look", I got the response "THERE IS N0THING KEWL". Yup, that sums it up perfectly. Nothing 'Kewl' in this game at all. I marked it as "I've played it" and now wish I could add "and I want those wasted 10 minutes of my life back."

I see. That history does put things into context. Without that context, the ten minutes that I played were not at all fun, and I lost a lot of faith when the game indicated that there were no objects in the room when I was standing with 4 dead bodies.

Is there anything in the game that makes it worth playing other than the obvious parody? Are the puzzles fun? Is the parser reasonable and the game well-implemented? I realize that in email form, these questions can come off as antagonistic; they're not. I'm genuinely curious because if the game has playable value beyond the amusement as parody, I'll give it another shot.
