As a game, it's very interesting; the branching is well thought out, and it's interesting to see all the possible outcomes. I have based my ratings on how the game works as a game.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>As a story, I see more flaws. The characters feel generic and boring, and the narrative never made me truly care about them. The writing is sometimes a little too stiff and formulaic, especially in how it describes conversations (see also http:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/SaidBookism). There's also a bunch of typos, spelling mistakes and similar minor errors that screw up the immersion. Still, the plot was interesting enough to follow all possible paths (I think - it's impossible to get a perfect score on the advanced test, isn't it?), so it's not bad - it just could be better in a lot of ways."},{"author_name":"Pickens Inc.","author_uid":"25346","time":"Sep 14, 2015 @ 9:53am","epoch":1442224080,"text":"Nice little text adventure.
