Evil Eagle posted:Done with this week way early, anyone have any other recommendations for text adventures? I enjoyed Superluminal Vagrant Twin and Photopia the most but I'm down to play stuff that's different too some of the ones I almost picked were: The Impossible Bottle, Weird City Interloper, The Magpie Takes the Train, Foo Foo, Lost Pig, and Endless, Nameless heard good things about but haven't actually gotten around to playing Counterfeit Monkey, Galatea, Blue Lacuna, A Rope of Chalk if you haven't played 9:05 or Aisle, you don't like need to play them, but they're kinda games that everybody who's into interactive fiction knows. they're not great necessarily but they each do one thing incredibly well IFDB has an automated Top 100 list that's weighted and slightly better than just browsing by rating, and it's such a small and dedicated community that the group consensus seems to actually be pretty good. the way I found most of these games was either from clicking around IFDB or looking up nominees and winners from The XYZZY Awards and just trying ones that seemed interesting to me

played Photopia now, think I might give it a couple of days and play it again. I've had an eye strain headache so some of the colours were a pain to read and probably stopped me absorbing it much lol. It didn't really work for me for whatever reason but I'll give it another go and see what I think after that

Cubone posted:the puzzle was the crystal labyrinth it definitely did not seem like a puzzle to me, the wings were curious but they were outright mentioned i immediately typed fly without even thinking about it. i thought maybe the seed and chest was the puzzle, but that seemed crazy to even talk up. but it at least seemed less obvious because i wanted to use them immediately but it made me wait lol. maybe im just too galaxy brained for this baby genre

Finished the last one, Act of Murder, it was nice making little hand written notes and charts to figure it out. I thought the method of actually solving and winning at the end with Inspector Duffy was a little clunky. I initially got a calculator and determined the time of death myself, not knowing that the game expected me to tell duffy about the post and the tide table and have the math done for you, and you can't win if you don't. Also played 9:05 and lol, I think I'm gonna try a few more before the week is out.

: Beat any of the text adventures finished Photopia, that was astonishingly good for how short it was. made me feel things. I got stuck on the toughest puzzle, how to walk out of the garage, for an embarrassingly long time lol

I finished up Superluminal Vagrant Twin with 7/12 achievements. I started trying stuff at random afterwards while trying to find stuff I missed and found out you can record and jump to all of the planets in our solar system. I don't know if it's actually hinted at anywhere beyond Szymon saying he can't remember where humans came from. e: code:

Superluminal kicks rear end, it feels overwhelming but in a good way. I if i complete this one I'm going to feel obligated to the murder one to get my completion badge

I've actually never played Photopia before but I remember playing a few other games by the same guy as a kid, and they're pretty cool. Here's his site with the rest of them http://adamcadre.ac/if.html

what a really fun little game, this is the sort of thing I really look for in interactive fiction - it's all pretty short and digestible but it's just a constant supply of imaginative and weird ideas that would be really difficult to do if it required visuals. Going to try to get the rest of the achievements for sure. I felt like I somehow cheated towards the ending, I got the route to Haven because I had attached weird stuff to my body and a lady just told me the route so I never had to spend the money on the people that I had spent half of the game looking for, and the lady just gave me like a million credits lol Am I being stupid or is there nowhere to actually look at the "achievements"? I can't find them anywhere. I've been floating around getting the bounties but I cannot work out how to find more planets, I'm clearly missing something a lot. Szymon just tells me that the military at Storm is a good way to explore the universe and that the ERX controller thing might make a new one but I can't work out how to actually do anything with either Lunchmeat Larry fucked around with this message at 13:36 on Aug 6, 2022 |

disregard, I had a third coffee and forgot some really obvious guesses and also had been spelling the word "Alpha" wrong. All went into place after that. good game

I finished up An Act of Murder. I liked the idea of the game but had some problems with the actual execution. I had more trouble proving to the game that I knew what happened than I did actually figuring out the case. I had the right person, the murder weapon, the motive, and time of death but it did not count because I had not proven every other person did not do it. I ended up reloading and needing to use the in game hints to find out that I had not officially figured out certain details because I was using examine instead of search in a couple of places.

The randomization is neat in theory but is kinda pointless in execution since how you solve the mystery doesn't really change.

agreed with all of the above, finished it now but I had to bash my head trying to convince the game what I was trying to tell it, largely just because the parser is fussy and I didn't really get the logic sometimes. It was OK but definitely my least favourite of the four. : Beat all four text adventures
