IF Comp 2009: Eruption

No spoilers in this review!  This is a game about a volcano, which is evident enough from the cover and the game.  It’s an easy and kinda boring game. Is that a spoiler?  I guess it would be an okay game for someone who had never played a text adventure before, since it’s not buggy or anything and is not hard to figure out.

Though if this was the first text adventure I’d ever played I’d probably wonder if they were all this dull. I have no idea. Maybe I’d view it with an amazing child-like sense of wonder about the potential of the medium as not realized, at all, by this competition entry.

Also, if you’re wondering why all these are being posted in such rapid succession; I played the games earlier and I’m just getting around to actually publishing the posts now that I’ve fixed my blogger issues!  The other game I have played so far is Rover’s Day Out, and later I imagine the blog posts will slow down to a more normal rate as I write them one at a time rather than batch out.
