I'm a fan or text based games and found this to be quite addictive. Challenging because it makes you really think about your actions. 10/10 would recommend 

This one is fun and statistical.  Seems to remind me a bit like fallout but text base. 

'The Wanderer' is a game that I wish to be able to enjoy as much as it deserves to be enjoyed, while the game does deserve to be enjoyed quite a bit. The problem is, I am not very patient when it comes to expectations in entertainment. You see, a good game should be like a nice, funny joke - it ought to somehow surprise you, even though what you expect, is exactly to be surprised in a specified manner, with specified outcome. But this game, right off the bat, already seems very complicated. Sometimes I wish that I could just "download" the knowledge on how to properly play such game - as if, on a whim - and enjoy the advanced nuances, but this, is not going to happen, at least not anytime soon. This no-patience attitude is unfortunately true especially in case of web browser games and mobile games, that ought to deliver fast, since they should be matched to burst time sessions, as if in a que to the dentist, for example. I do not say this type of game does not get the audience, but I say it is unlikely to grab the attention of casual players, due to complex learning curve and convoluted appeal.
