ADRIFT 4.0

SCORE: 6
Comments: Good adventure with tight focus on multi-step puzzle & frightening
scenario. Unfortunately, some coding issues-- likely from lack of testing due to
time limit-- broke immersion. Repeating messages such as picking up the pack
Guess the verb issues with "pour the whiskey" Flask of whiskey not openable With
a few fixes, could be a solid adventure.

Comments: Not the best title; I keep forgetting which game this is and reopening
it to remind me. Oh yeah, it's the spider web one. Okay. I liked the main
puzzle,
and figured out what I was meant to do -- but I had trouble telling the game
that. There were little bugs involving the pack and its contents, and some
commands
that ought to have worked didn't; I had to go into the debugger to get the right
phrasing. I blame the 3-hour time limit, though. I'm sure this would've been
more
polished under normal development. And I was sad the game ended so soon, so you
did something right.

Comments: This was a very easy and short game but I liked the sense of urgency
it created and gigantic spiders always gets a plus in my book. As a short little
vignette of insect terror, I think it succeeds.

Comments: Impossible to play without the debugger?! I didn't even know that I
was wearing a coat. the spiders did eat me the first time, though.

Comments: Some good writing here. Plot is very Shelob-inspired. Some GTV - I
knew the whiskey and lighter were to be used on the egg sack, but it wouldn't
let me do it until after the spider was dead. I was surprised by the appearance
of the knife, which isn't mentioned until you X BACKPACK. Actions are not
entirely logical - killing the spider while attached to the web seems a bit
impossible. You'd at least need to let it get close if all you have is a knife.
Still, some good writing. I don't like spiders, and this probably came closest
that any of the games to give me a chill.
