Excellent world-hopping concept with some rough edges, December 20, 2023I had a great time with this game, then a bad time, then a pretty good time.
This is a PunyJam game, written using PunyInform, a variant of Inform designed to fit onto small devices.
It has one of my favorite game tropes, multiple worlds that all play off of each other. You start in one, but the game shifts you every few minutes into another, and you have to solve pieces of each one to figure out what's going on overall.
It uses nice color changes.
Where I had less enjoyment was a puzzle I got very stuck on in the CPU world. I turned out that there was one object I had overlooked in a paragraph, and so I spent over an hour trying over and over again to figure out what was wrong. I decompiled the game, used all in-game hints, got help online but had to ask for multiple hints. I don't know why I got so stuck! Most of it is my fault, but I think having some gentle nudges on what to focus on could help. And there were a few items that didn't have any descriptions.
So, overall started out loving it, got frustrated, but I still like the concept and most of the gameplay. Very fun.
