They’re online point ‘n’ click text adventures, pretty retro in style, but quite likeable once you get over the limitations of the interface. I’m currently playing one called The Mystery Of Brackly Hall which is a nice enough game in its own right but can also be amazingly frustratingly to make progress with.
I think I’ve seen that site before, but I can’t remember if I played any of the games. Does it require a sign-up? If so, I might have passed on it for a later time, and just never came back.
Well, I played it to the bitter end so I guess the answer would be “yes”. Saying that, I found the game to be an incredibly trying experience due to the maze (the curse of all things IF) and the limitations of the interface. But overall, it wasn’t bad and it gave me a break from some of the buggy IFComp games. Just out of curiosity, how many moves did it take you to finish it? I made it in 1,779.
As it happens, I’ve written quite a lengthy review of it which I’ll add to Merk’s new IF Hype site when he finishes it…*
