Definitely shows us what future gaming could be like. More personal, and more free gaming. Not so linear.

Definately a unuque game

[A. J. Raffles]

Hmm, am I the only one who finds this game uniquely frustrating? It's like watching a car crash... Most of the time, the characters are talking much too fast for me to get a word in edgeways (although admittedly I'm a bit slow at typing), and when I do, my sentence is either too long for the command line or the characters misunderstand me. That's probably my fault rather than the parser's, but I still find it frustrating. Not to mention that I'm struggling with the navigation and constantly bumping into walls or characters...
I thought the idea was interesting, but I'm a bit disappointed by the execution, to be honest. I just don't get the sense that I can really interact enough - or quickly enough - to change anything, and that's a little annoying, because no matter what I try to do or say, everything seems to go horribly wrong in the end. It might help if there was a way of adjusting dialogue speed, but sadly there isn't. Oh well.

I know what you mean AJ. It's a unique idea, but it's very hard to play through.

I can never seem to say the right thing. Everything I DO say gets twisted round, and they get even more angry. Either that, or they just completely ignore me. And by the time I finished typing something. they are talking about something completely different. *screams quietly*

Yes, that's exactly it. I just hope I'm not this ineffectual a friend in real life...

I wonder what they'd do if you actually *tried* to upset them. Perhaps they'd misunderstand that too?

[Frodo]

If you try to upset them, maybe it would have the opposite effect, and that would actually be the right thing to do?

It's very confusing.

To be honest, I'm not even sure whether I actually want them to sort out their differences anymore. They've been nothing but unpleasant to me and to each other, and they have very irritating voices.

[A. J. Raffles]

Gah, I give up. Even deliberately trying to annoy them doesn't produce any different results. Whatever I do or say, in the end they either tell me I "don't need to say any more" and show me the door(?) or Trip storms off in a huff. Really irritating.

[Frodo]

They kept going on about Trips parents, and how he was ashamed of them, then she walked out on him.
And I tried so hard to prevent it.

Oh, Grace can walk out as well?

[A. J. Raffles]

Oh, I just had a look at the forum (if you can call it that) and apparently it's a good ending if they show you the door in the end.

[Frodo]

That's a good ending???

[A. J. Raffles]

That's a good ending???

Apparently it means they're going to sort out their differences and stay together. But I wouldn't have guessed that either.

Now that's f****ed up

I got thrown out after repeatedly attempting to flirt with Grace , do I still qualify for a happy ending?
