Plot synopsis:
You and your fiance Cathy have been invited to a class reunion at a beach
resort. Aware of your reluctance to go (for various reasons), Cathy has reserved
separate
rooms for the two of you and indicated that this would be more than just you and
her during the reunion.
Writing + Plot:
The Reunion has a wonderful storyline. The puzzles seem to make sense. Usually
you can break the ice using the "Talk to" command but to really advance in the
game
you should try to use the "ask x about" and "tell x about" commands, which
encourages the player to think a little bit.
Some of the puzzles I found easy some i found hard (but that's just me..maybe
i'm stupid). But the game was accompanied by a wonderful hint system I'd never
seen before.
What I particularily liked about the game was that it had multiple endings.
Score: 9
Technical (design + programming):
The descriptions were nice for the game, though a few of them didn't match up
after you changed some events (npc desc would describe clothes on after you
removed them).
It might have been just me but I found myself in a mildy irritating
guess-the-verb situation a few times when i knew what to do but didn't know how
to type it. But that
was only on a few occasions.
Score: 9
Entertainment Factor:
Once the reunion starts, it's hard to stop as you're trying to finish a puzzle
you started but end up on others to complete that puzzle. It was very
entertaining, especially at some certain puzzles with good endings too.
Score: 10
-----------------------------------------------
The Last Word:
Moriarty has a talent for writing stories and, in this aspect, AIF. I found it
entertaining at the very least and it was easy to get a picture based on the
descriptions.
Well done.
My ranking: 9 out of 10
