About the Story

It is 1980, the beginning of an eventful decade, that has seen the progress of the 1970s and foresees progress that would have been unimaginable in the decades prior.

Like always the day starts by getting out of bed, grabbing a coffee, and heading into an office.

But today isn't just any day... stuff happens.

Great programming promise but unfinished implementation, January 13, 2025
Related reviews: less than 15 minutes

This PunyJam game shows a lot of skill at different programming tasks but feels like it was incomplete. I'd be happy to bump up the score if it were expanded.

You wake up in your room on a day that feels like it will be long. There are no instructions besides telling you that you should wake up.

So I wandered through the building, picking things up as I went. On my way out I grabbed some coffee, and then I went to a new building, solved a simple puzzle, and the game ended.

The game does enough that I can tell the author has some pretty good programming and the writing was interesting (like with the three objects in the box at the beginning of the game). It just felt like a lot was missing, like overall guidance or more material.

It's possible I missed some secret that hides the 'true' gameplay so feel free to let me know if that's true!

Not a bad PunyInform demo , January 24, 2025

But not much more. There's nothing really wrong here, everything works as expected, it shows off how to accomplish many basic design tasks with PunyInform, but the experience is very short and without many frills. It's a 38kb game after all.
