That was pretty cool, but I have a few complaints...
first off where’s the kitchen? If it’s a kitchen garden, I expect to see some pie or roast pork... but okay, it’s probably a metaphor, euphemism or a reference to an old dirty joke...
The other thing is, I like the first person shooter view, but where are the rocket launchers and flamethrowers?... I didn’t see any way to arm my character or any power-ups to pick up... maybe they were in the flower beds?... I couldn’t get into them to search.
And no mutants... not one...?
There was that weird lecherous squirrel in the shrubs by the white shed, but that doesn’t really count... and there’s a well...
A WELL!... and the camera just goes by it without allowing me to explore it... or even throw something down it.
That has to lead to the next level...
It was pretty and all, but I couldn’t find out my score either.
At least it was quicker than the online BBC Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy game... which is good, because I obsessed over that for quite a while...
Too long... but this could have done with at least one Haggunenon or Vogon...
-insert pause of several minutes-
Okay... I played it again, I get it now... it’s like Myst... there is some mystery I have to solve... The flowers have to be a clue.
I’m guessing it’s based on the Tulip Mania financial crisis of 1637...
It’s gotta have some time travel elements...
I don’t get the purpose of those green cylindrical droids that appear next to the paths, but I’m sure they will unlock the blue boat... maybe if I can throw one down the well, I’ll be able to get into that caretaker’s shed and find a shovel or a flamethrower...
It took me forever to solve Myst and Riven...
Well, thanks for giving me something to do besides reading news stories about the horrible state of affairs here...
Unless...
What I thought was reality is the real game and I have to escape the surreal nightmare...
Seriously... this reality game has the worst plot and writing and the villains make the corporate bad guys from Robocop look like freakin’ geniuses.
Megh... I’m gonna go play the tulip game instead, it’s got a more believable plot and there is no amorphous orange goblin pooping up the shrubbery... so that’s a refreshing change.
Thanks!
