Without giving anything away: It does something brilliant that wouldn't be possible in any other storytelling medium.
- someguyorother 4y agoI think you could do most of it as a point and click. Perhaps with the exception of that one command (if you know what I mean) because the mere possibility of it would be revealing in a point-and-click. But you could do that in a Sierra AGI type graphical adventure because that still has a parser. On topic, I would myself recommend Coloratura - https://ifdb.org/viewgame?id=g0fl99ovcrq2sqzk https://ifdb.org/viewgame?id=g0fl99ovcrq2sqzk - for the sense of wonder/unusual protagonist.
- psvv 4y agoEven though it's famous inside (and out?) of text game circles, this is a game I still wish had a wider reach. It really just does something with video games that I didn't think was possible before playing it, and haven't seen explored satisfactorily since. Unfortunately, you sort of need to know how to play text games to appreciate it. If anyone reading has tried text games and have found they just aren't for you, you can get somewhat of a proxy of the experience by reading through this community let's play of the game (https://adventuregamers.com/forums/viewthread/8481 https://adventuregamers.com/forums/viewthread/8481). Although long (like the game), I think it brings you on the typical journey of playing, even if you aren't necessarily making the connections yourself (which would normally be a big part of the appeal).
- PebblesRox 4y agoSeconded! And put on the album "Eye in the Sky" by The Alan Parsons Project while you play. I happened to listen to that while playing the game and thematically it's very appropriate.
